There is a bi-directional rotating inner bezel under the crystal that's set by the crown at the 2 o'clock position. There is another inner rotating dial with a luminous triangle that indicates the alarm time, adjusted with the crown at 1 o'clock. The 42mm diameter solid two-body case, downturned lugs, and thin flat bezel are polished. The dial is gloss black with Arabic numerals at 6, 9, and 12 o'clock, and trapezoidal hour indices with vintage lume around a perimeter dot minute/second track with white luminous Arabic numerals on the quarter hours. It has steel baton hands with luminous inserts, and a center sweep seconds hand. There is a date aperture window at 3 o'clock that's adjusted by the crown at the 3 o'clock position. The third crown at 4 o'clock sets the time & allows for manually winding the movement. It has a 45-hour power reserve at full wind, and the 17.52mm thick case, dial, and movement are all signed. This Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox Tribute to Polaris 1968 Q2008470 has a mechanical automatic self-winding Jaeger LeCoultre caliber 956 movement that's rhodium plated with Cotes de Geneve embellishment. It's constructed with 23 jewels, 268 components, a shock absorber device, and a straight-line lever escapement. There is a monometallic balance, a self-compensating flat balance spring, and a hacking seconds mechanism for precision time setting. The oscillating weight has ceramic ball-bearings, and the mechanism oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz). The LeCoultre Memovox Tribute to Polaris 1968 Q2008470 was introduced in 2018 in an edition of 768 examples honoring the original Polaris Diving watch produced from 1965 through 1970.
