Polaris Automatic Stainless Steel / Vintage Blue / Rubber

In Context

At 41 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 13.92 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. Its 38-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

9068681 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a blue gradient dial with a stainless steel case. It was a limited edition. Introduced in 2018.

Autoamatic movement with hours, minutes, seconds and date. 219 components; power reserve 38 hours.
