Universal Geneve Polerouter Date 18k 1960s
The Polerouter was produced in 1954 by Universal Genève in partnership with Scandinavian Airline System (SAS) by a then 24-year-old Gerald Genta. Universal Genève developed the automatic Polerouter to be more resistant to the strong magnetic fields at the North and South poles.
The version you see here is full 18k rose gold with a stunning rose gold dial in flawless condition and a very nice brushed finishing and a mirrored rose gold chapter ring. Overall, this is a beautiful designed watch with a rich aviation history.
