INTRODUCTION
We would like to thank you for the confi-
dence you have placed in Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Our Maison has applied all its expertise and
exacting standards to the creation of this
model.
We invite you to consult the operating in-
structions and hope your Jaeger-LeCoultre
timepiece brings you great joy.
ACCURACY AND
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
MANUALLY-WOUND OR AUTOMATIC
MECHANICAL WATCHES
The accuracy of watch models with me-
chanical movements is determined by the
balance wheel. This oscillates at a rate of
28,800 vibrations per hour. Despite all the
care that the master watchmakers of the
Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture have lav-
ished on building and assembling your

22
watch, its accuracy is subject to the influ-
ence of gravity, magnetic fields, accidental
impacts, and the ageing of the oils. The ac-
curacy of a watch is measured by its regu-
larity of rate in various positions.
Your individual activities could be the
cause of slight irregularities in the working
of your timepiece. If you observe a discrep-
ancy in the way your watch runs, we advise
you to entrust it to an authorised Jaeger-
LeCoultre retailer who will make the nec-
essary adjustments. Watches with me-
chanical 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 engraving: “30 bar” on the case-
back. This means that your model has
been tested at an overpressure of 30 bar,

ENGLISH
23
corresponding to an immersion pressure
of 300 metres (1 bar = ±10 metres).
In accordance with the ISO 22810/NIHS
92-20 standard, in order to guarantee the
durability of the watch’s characteristics
over time, and as water resistance may be
aected by certain activities, it is recom-
mended that you:
- have the watch’s water resistance checked
by an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer
at least once every two years. It is essen-
tial to have such a check carried out each
time your watch is opened, and before any
period in which it is liable to undergo pro-
longed 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 suering other accidental impacts and
have the water resistance checked after
any severe impact.

24
- 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 the time-setting crown and the
push-pieces to their normal positions, or
where applicable, close the compression
keys after every manipulation.
- rinse the watch with fresh water after use
in sea water.
You may use your watch while swimming as
long as you do not exceed the immersion
pressure and do not engage in any water
sports that could cause impacts. Also, note
that leather straps are not suited for aquat-
ic activities.
WARNING
The Polaris Mariner models are not pro-
fessional diving instruments. They must
be complemented by a professional dive
computer.

“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 in-
ternal qualification tests for each of the
models in our collection, as well as inter-
nal tests on the production of your watch,
which go beyond ocial timing tests.
These tests include checks of the move-
ment before and after being cased up
in the watch and cover the whole watch
once it has been assembled, in the condi-
tions closest to daily wear.
The “1000 Hours Control” legend, or the
“” seal engraved on the back of the
watch certifies that each of the models
from our collection has successfully under-
gone all of the qualification tests, and that
your watch has successfully undergone
all of the production tests. These ensure
regularity of rate, resistance to variations

26
in temperature and atmospheric pressure,
ability to withstand shocks and magnetic
fields, as well as water resistance.

STARTING AND WINDING
Crown B in position 0.
The watch is wound by turning the crown
clockwise.
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.

28
SETTING THE HOUR AND MINUTES
Pull Crown B out to position 2.
The movement is then locked (“stop sec-
onds” function). For an accurate time set-
ting 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 mid-
night; if not, it is midday. At the stroke of
the hour, push the crown back in to posi-
tion 0. The watch starts running again.
SETTING THE DATE
Pull Crown B 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, re-
peat this process to reach the 1st of the
following month.

DIVING FLANGE
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner
Date watch model features a unidirection-
al rotating flange (can only be turned an-
ti-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 A 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 A
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 guaran-
teed and the flange is not locked.

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