Introduction
We would like to thank you for the confidence
you have placed in Jaeger-LeCoultre. Our Mai-
son has applied all its expertise and exacting
standards to the creation of this model.
We invite you to consult the operating instruc-
tions and hope your Jaeger-LeCoultre time-
piece brings you great joy.
Accuracy and precautions for use
MANUALLY-WOUND OR AUTOMATIC
MECHANICAL WATCHES
The accuracy of watch models with mechan-
ical movements is determined by the balance
wheel. This oscillates at a rate of 28,800 vi-
brations per hour. Despite all the care that the
master watchmakers of the Jaeger-LeCoultre
Manufacture have lavished on building and as-
sembling your watch, its accuracy is subject to
the influence of gravity, magnetic fields, acci-
dental impacts, and the ageing of the oils. The
accuracy of a watch is measured by its regular-
ity of rate in various positions.
ENGLISH

22
Your individual activities could be the cause of
slight irregularities in the working of your time-
piece. If you observe a discrepancy in the way
your watch runs, we advise you to entrust it to
an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer who
will make the necessary adjustments. Watches
with mechanical movements must not be used
for sports involving significant risk of impact or
abrupt actions, such as golf or tennis.
Water resistance
Your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is water-resistant
to 30 bar. Its water resistance can be identified
by the symbol and/or the “30 bar”
engraving on the case-back. This means that
your model has been tested at an overpressure
of 30 bar, corresponding to an immersion
pressure of 300 metres (1 bar = ±10 metres).
Your Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner
Memovox satisfies the requirements of the
Swiss Watchmaking Industry Standard (NIHS)
92-11, reproducing the European standard
ISO 6425 governing diving watches. In order
to guarantee the durability of the watch’s

23
characteristics over time, it is recommended
that you:
- have the watch's water resistance checked
by an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer
at least once every two years. It is essential
to have such a check carried out each time
your watch is opened, and before any period
in which it is liable to undergo prolonged and/
or regular immersions.
- check when making the purchase that the
bracelet is suitable for the intended use.
- avoid subjecting the watch to excessively
abrupt temperature changes.
- protect the watch from being dropped or
suffering other accidental impacts, and have
the water resistance checked after any severe
impact.
- avoid using the controls, push-piece, or time-
setting crown while under water, or outside
the water, if the watch is not yet dry after
immersion.
- restore (or retighten) crowns after handling.
ENGLISH

24
- rinse the watch with fresh water after use in
sea water.
You may use your watch during short swims,
and when jumping in from the edge of a
swimming pool but not from a diving board.
Your watch must not be used for sports involving
significant risk of impact, such as windsurfing
or waterskiing. Also, note that leather straps are
not suited for aquatic activities.
As a precaution, we draw your attention to the
following two recommendations:
- Do not adjust the crowns in water
- Do not use Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner
watches for deep dives (diving with a gas
mixture, with the diver spending alternating
periods between the water and a pressurised
chamber), or dives to a depth greater than
that indicated.

25
“1000 Hours Control” test
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture pays close
attention to the quality and to the final checks
of its watches.
The 1000 Hours Control is a series of internal
qualification tests for each of the models in our
collection, as well as internal tests on the pro-
duction of your watch, which go beyond ocial
timing tests. These tests include checks of the
movement before and after being cased up in
the watch and cover the whole watch once it
has been assembled, in the conditions closest
to daily wear.
The “1000 Hours Control” legend, or the “ ”
seal engraved on the back of the watch certi-
fies that each of the models from our collection
has successfully undergone all of the qualifica-
tion tests, and that your watch has successful-
ly undergone all of the production tests. These
ensure regularity of rate, resistance to varia-
tions in temperature and atmospheric pressure,
ability to withstand shocks and magnetic fields,
as well as water resistance.

STARTING AND WINDING
Crown C in position 0.
A few clockwise turns of the crown are enough
to start your watch. It will then automatically
wind up when you wear it. Please note that the
crown does not lock when winding, even when
the watch is fully wound.
SETTING THE HOUR AND MINUTES
Pull Crown C out to position 1.
ENGLISH

28
The movement is then locked ("stop seconds"
function). For an accurate time setting in
seconds, stop the seconds hand at 12 o’clock.
Move the hands clockwise to the desired time,
by passing 12 o’clock. If the date changes when
the hands pass 12, it is midnight; if not, it is
midday. At the stroke of the hour, push crown C
back in to position 0. The watch starts running
again.
SETTING THE DATE
Pull Crown A out to position 1.
Turn the crown clockwise until the correct date
is displayed.
Then push the crown back to position 0.
For months with fewer than 31 days, repeat this
process to reach the 1st of the following month.
Once the operation is complete, push Crown
A back into position 0. After setting the date,
move the hands forward to the desired time –
via 12 o’clock if it is after noon.

29
SETTING THE ALARM
Winding
Crown A in position 0.
The alarm is wound by turning the crown
clockwise. When winding is complete, the
crown is locked.
Setting the alarm time
Pull Crown A out to position 1.
This function enables you to adjust the alarm’s
mobile disc by turning the crown anti-clockwise
to position the triangular mark situated in the
centre of the dial opposite the desired alarm time.
Once the operation is complete, push Crown A
back into position 0.
Starting and stopping the alarm
The alarm is activated when Crown A is in
position 0. It is stopped when the crown is in
position 1.
The chime can be stopped at any time by
pulling out Crown A. However, note that the
crown must be pushed back into position 0 to
ensure water resistance.
ENGLISH

DIVING FLANGE
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner Memovox
watch model features a unidirectional rotating
flange (can only be turned anti-clockwise), with
an index marking every minute. It can measure
a particular time using the luminescent white
triangular marker as a reference point in relation
to the hour hand or minute hand.
To set the diving flange, crown B can be
unscrewed by turning it anti-clockwise. When
the crown is unscrewed, an orange ring is
visible. You can now set the diving flange. To
do so, simply rotate crown B clockwise to the
desired position. Once the flange has been set,
remember to retighten the crown to lock the
flange and ensure the watch's water resistance.
Note: if the orange ring is visible, the watch’s
water resistance is not guaranteed and the
flange is not locked.

31
STRAP
Metal and rubber straps require a tool
(not included) in order to be removed. We
recommend that you contact an authorised
Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer or a Jaeger-LeCoultre
Boutique.
