After years of searching I’ve finally found the perfect Universal Geneve Polerouter for my collection!
The Polerouter was born in 1954 — the result of a unique collaboration between Universal Genève and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). Designed by a young Gérald Genta, it was built to withstand the extreme magnetic fields encountered on flights over the North and South Poles.
This example is powered by the legendary Microtor Caliber 215, capturing everything that makes the Polerouter iconic: technical elegance, aviation heritage, and bold design. The dial has aged beautifully into a warm tropical brown, adding stunning depth to the crosshair layout and steel chapter ring. It’s a watch that feels alive with history.
