The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date nails the sweet spot between sporty and refined. The 42mm case wears a bit smaller due to its short lugs, and the black dial is packed with texture—sunburst in the center, grainy around the edges, with a circular track that pulls it all together. You get an inner rotating bezel, 200 meters of water resistance, and a smooth in-house movement with 70 hours of power. It’s sharp, useful, and low-key kind of perfect.
