The movement inside This reference is built with either calibre. The choice changes the price, the rate and the reserve — nothing else about the watch.
| Base | Seiko NH35 or Miyota 8215, automatic | Swiss clone of the maison's own calibre |
|---|---|---|
| Rate | ±15 to 25 seconds a day | ±5 to 10 seconds a day |
| Reserve | About 40 hours | 55 to 70 hours |
| Balance | 21,600 A/h · six beats a second | 28,800 A/h · eight beats a second |
| Servicing | Any watchmaker can service it; parts are everywhere | Serviced by a specialist; finished as the original is |
| Suited to | Wearing daily, keeping simply, spending less | Matching the reference exactly, and glass casebacks |
The Swiss movement is $50 more. That figure buys the rate, the reserve and a movement that reads correctly through a glass back — not a different watch.

The exact base calibre for this reference is confirmed in writing, with the QC film, before anything is dispatched. The two movements, explained

Description
GP Factory New Product Launch: The dial, with its blue-to-black gradient, is a hallmark of this collection. The smoked blue dial gives the Jaeger-LeCoultre Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris collection a profound sense of depth. Reference Q9068681, a perfect blend of formal and sporty style, a new era of diving benchmarks, inspired by the 1968 Memovix collection, is the choice of the action-oriented man. Case: Size 42x13.1mm. 316L stainless steel case, brushed finish. To perfectly replicate the original, more than ten types of sandpaper were tested, reflecting the meticulous spirit of GP watchmakers. Dial: Uses Swiss Super-LumiNova for superior luminosity, the quality speaks for itself. Crystal: Uses a domed, double-coated sapphire crystal, the coating color is completely consistent with the genuine product, and the clarity is unparalleled. Strap: Imported rubber strap with moderate softness and durability. It can perfectly fit the wrist, even for those with small wrists, and provide perfect comfort.
