Born from a collaboration between Universal Genève and Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS), the Polerouter was created to celebrate the pioneering polar flights linking Europe and America across the Arctic skies. Penned by a young Gérald Genta, the design evolved over the years into countless dial layouts, case styles, and movement configurations.
This particular reference represents the more restrained side of the Polerouter family. The dramatic twisted lugs have given way to elegant straight ones, the crosshair dial has disappeared, and the overall aesthetic leans decidedly dressier. Beneath that refined exterior, however, beats the same ingenious micro-rotor movement that made the Polerouter a legend among collectors.
A quieter Polerouter perhaps, but no less charming.
Please read the condition report carefully and refer to the high-resolution pictures to help you assess the overall condition of the watch.
MODEL / REFERENCE: Universal Genève Polerouter Date, ref. 204604-9 from the 1960s. Inventory Code: 60601-1.
DIAL + HANDS: Original black dial displaying beautiful and graceful aging throughout, with subtle tropical freckling that adds depth and character without compromising legibility. The silver printing remains crisp and complete. The trapezoidal date window at 3 o’clock features a clean disc.
All luminous plots are present and intact, having acquired a pleasing beige tone over time. The original handset matches the dial perfectly and remains in very good condition.
CRYSTAL: Original Plexiglas crystal with magnifying cyclops at 3 o’clock. It remains in very good vintage condition, showing only minor signs of wear.
CASE: The stainless-steel case measures 34mm in diameter and approximately 41mm lug-to-lug. Its wide bezel and slender lugs contribute to a restrained elegant design.
It appears that the surface has been lightly polished in the past but retains strong lines and attractive overall definition. Light wear marks and hairline scratches are present, consistent with age and careful use.
CASE BACK: Stainless-steel screw-down case back in very good condition. Despite being likely polished, it still displays legible engraved serial and reference numbers, along with honest wear marks and scratches throughout.
The inner side is clean and bears the correct factory stamps.
CROWN: Original signed crown, correct to the model and operates flawlessly.
MOVEMENT: Powered by the celebrated in-house Universal Genève Cal. 218-2 automatic movement, it features the brand’s ingenious micro-rotor architecture, combined with slim proportions and a date feature.
The movement has been inspected by our watchmaker, runs well and keeps accurate time.
STRAP: 17mm, dark brown leather strap fitted with an unsigned stainless-steel buckle.
ACCESSORIES: Saffiano leather watch roll.
