The Polaris model was launched in 1965 as the successor to the Memovox DeepSea, this was the watch manufacturer’s response to the ever-increasing popularity of recreational scuba diving wristwatches. Manufactured between 1965 and 1970, the total production of the Polaris model is believed to be fewer than 1714 pieces.
