There was an additional 'Geographic' model, the 'Master World Geographic'...
... which is my favourite. In addition to the second time zone (called "privileged time zone" by JLC with this model), a real world time display was offered. To the regular models in stainless steel (152 84 20) and pink gold (152 24 20), many limited boutique and AD variants were offered. Below, on the RH, the boutique models in stainless steel (152 28 440) and titanium (152 T 440) are shown.
This combination of a world time indication with an additional (to the main display) zone time indication I can select makes this model the perfect travel watch for me. The 'Polaris' model you show has the same functions, but I prefer the 'Master' design.

The profile of that ‘Ketchum’😱
they sure don't make them like they used to. Everything from the lugs, bezel, dial indexes
Another version
Hi Amanico, I love the Géographique - thank you for reminding me! I have another version of the Master Control with a different version of the power reserve indicator and the day/night indicator. I have also realized by looking at my Instagram-feed that i...
Thank you for reminding me of the Diving Pro Geographic!
One of my grails! And what a great picture of it as always. Gives you an idea of the depth and heft of this great watch. Also that sector dial from 2017 is so sweet 😍 It is incredible to see how many different iterations has taken this movement. Thanks fo...

I really like the concept and dial of the master geographique
But unfortunately I find it a bit thicker than I would like.
It might have been nice...
to insert a picture of the 2007 Geographic World right before the Polaris edition. It was 41.5mm and the Polaris is 42, and was clearly the inspiration. When the '96 edition came out, is was voted "Watch of the Year" in Chronos' annual readers' survey. My...
