The iconic Polo Bear is reimagined and dressed in a festive Lunar New Year outfit consisting of a velvet smoking jacket in the auspicious color red, complete with a satin shawl lapel and a gold dragon embroidered on the breast, black satin-striped tuxedo trousers, red socks and embroidered black velvet slippers. In his right paw, he holds three red envelopes adorned with golden dragons to usher in prosperity and good health for the year.
Set in a 38-mm frame, the Lunar New Year Bear takes center stage in 3D on a round cream-white lacquered dial with the collection’s hallmark bold black Arabic numerals, railway minute track and the ‘Polo Ralph Lauren’ logo signature at 9 o’clock. The hour, minute, and central seconds hands are in glossy black, matching the dial markings. Crafted from stainless steel in accordance with Swiss watchmaking tradition, the watch is powered by Ralph Lauren’s RL200 caliber, a mechanical self-winding Swiss movement handfinished with vertical Côtes de Genève stripes and circular graining, known as perlage. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (approximately 50 meters or 160 feet), the watch features a stylish black grosgrain silk strap with leather details and a steel pin buckle engraved with “Polo”.
Priced at US$1750.00, the Lunar New Year Polo Bear watch will be available for purchase in a limited run of 50 pieces on February 10th, 2024.
