TW Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Geographic WT R68 42mm
The TW Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Geographic WT R68 is a 42mm automatic mechanical world-time watch combining a 24-time-zone city display with a second time zone, date, and power-reserve indication.
The watch uses a 936A/1 automatic mechanical movement and a 316L stainless steel case. Its multi-layer dial incorporates a peripheral city ring representing 24 global time zones, while separate displays provide the date, second time zone, and remaining movement power.
Dial configurations include a blue-to-black gradient finish and an all-black version.
42mm 316L Stainless Steel Case
The Polaris Geographic WT uses a 42mm case manufactured from 316L stainless steel.
The larger case provides the necessary dial area for the watch’s multi-layer Geographic WT display, which combines conventional timekeeping with a peripheral city ring and several additional indications.
The case also incorporates an additional crown at approximately 10 o’clock, forming part of the world-time adjustment system.
24-Time-Zone City Ring
One of the defining characteristics of the Geographic WT is the city ring positioned around the outer section of the dial.
The flange displays city names corresponding to 24 global time zones.
This provides a geographical reference for reading and setting different time zones and visually distinguishes the Geographic WT from a conventional GMT or simple dual-time watch.
The city-name section uses an off-white background, creating contrast against the darker central dial.
Geographic WT World-Time Architecture
The Geographic WT combines two related but distinct travel functions.
The outer city ring provides references for 24 time zones, while a dedicated subdial provides the second-time-zone indication.
This layered approach allows the wearer to reference global time-zone information while maintaining a separate display for a selected second local time.
Second Time Zone at 6 O’Clock
A dedicated second-time-zone display is positioned at 6 o’clock.
This subdial allows another local time to be read separately from the primary central time display.
The second-time-zone function forms one of the central practical features of the Geographic WT architecture.
Date Display at 2 O’Clock
The date indication is positioned at approximately 2 o’clock.
Its placement separates the calendar information from the world-time and second-time-zone displays, helping distribute the different functions across the dial.
Power Reserve at 10 O’Clock
The power-reserve indicator is positioned at approximately 10 o’clock.
It provides a visual indication of the remaining stored energy available to the mechanical movement.
The power-reserve subdial incorporates a sunburst-style surface treatment, adding texture to the multi-layer dial.
10 O’Clock Adjustment Crown
An additional crown positioned around 10 o’clock is used as part of the Geographic WT adjustment system.
Its placement provides separate access to the travel-related display rather than concentrating all adjustments through the primary crown.
Because the watch contains interconnected mechanical indications, adjustment should be carried out gently and according to the intended operating sequence.
936A/1 Automatic Mechanical Movement
The TW Factory version uses a 936A/1 automatic mechanical movement.
The movement is configured to support the primary time display together with the Geographic WT functions, including:
World-time city display, second time zone, date, and power-reserve indication.
Automatic winding allows normal wrist movement to contribute energy to the mechanical movement during regular wear.
Gradient and Black Dial Options
The supplied configuration includes two principal dial styles:
Blue-to-black gradient dial
All-black dial
The gradient configuration transitions between blue and darker tones across the dial, while the black version provides a more uniform appearance.
Both retain the multi-layer Geographic WT layout and peripheral city display.
Sunburst Subdial Finishing
The date, second-time-zone, and power-reserve areas incorporate contrasting dial details, while the functional subdials use sunburst-style finishing.
Under changing light, these surfaces reflect differently from the surrounding dial, helping visually separate the individual indications.
Domed Sapphire Crystal
The front of the watch uses a domed sapphire crystal.
The curved crystal follows the profile of the case while providing a clear view of the multi-layer dial and peripheral city ring.
Because the Geographic WT places information close to the outer edge of the dial, the shape of the crystal also contributes to the watch’s overall side profile.
Silicone Strap
The watch is fitted with an imported silicone strap.
The flexible strap complements the more sport-oriented character of the Polaris collection and provides a different wearing configuration from the leather straps commonly associated with the Master series.
A folding clasp is used to secure the strap.

Geographic WT vs. Conventional Dual Time
The Geographic WT is more complex in display architecture than a conventional dual-time watch.
A basic dual-time configuration typically provides the primary local time together with one additional time-zone indication.
The Geographic WT adds a peripheral city ring representing 24 global time zones, while retaining a dedicated second-time-zone display at 6 o’clock.
This combination is one of the most important technical differences between the Polaris Geographic WT and simpler GMT or dual-time configurations.
R68 Version Characteristics
The key identifiers for this TW R68 configuration are the 42mm 316L stainless steel case, 936A/1 automatic movement, 24-time-zone city ring, 6 o’clock second-time-zone display, 2 o’clock date, 10 o’clock power reserve, additional adjustment crown, domed sapphire crystal, and silicone strap.
These details provide a clearer basis for distinguishing this version than general appearance-based descriptions.
Wearing and Care
The 42mm case and silicone strap give this Geographic WT a more sport-oriented wearing profile than many traditional Master-series models.
Because the dial incorporates several mechanical travel and calendar functions, the crowns should be operated gently. If unusual resistance is encountered during adjustment, do not force the mechanism.
The sapphire crystal can be cleaned using a soft microfiber cloth, while the silicone strap can be wiped clean after normal wear.
Strong impacts and powerful magnetic fields should be avoided.
