Polaris Memovox Stainless Steel / Black / Rubber

In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 15.9 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 200 m puts it in dive-watch territory, well past anything daily wear will ask of it.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 45 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

9038670 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black sunburst dial with a stainless steel case. It was a limited edition. Introduced in 2018.

'Memovox' mechanical automatic winding movement, 268 parts, 28,800 vibrations per hour, 45-hour power-reserve. Indications: hour, minute, seconds, date, alarm.
