Universal Genève Polerouter Date

Very rare is the watch that checks so many boxes in the hearts and heads of watch enthusiasts, which is the very reason that any collector — or aspiring collector — needs a Universal Genève Polerouter.

With its ties to the great Gerald Genta — who was only 24 when he designed it — stunning looks, a horologically significant movement and an interesting origin story, the Polerouter also offers an impressive value proposition that punches far above its weight class.

This particular example, a Reference 869111/02, dates to the mid 1960s and features a stainless steel twisted-lug case with a sunburst silver 'crosshair' dial with an applied logo, signed crown, luminous dauphine handset, a magnified date window at 3 o’clock, and UG's Calibre 69 automatic winding micro-rotor movement.

With a bevy of fine design details including its gorgeous graduated chapter ring, printed crosshair dial, svelte twisted lug case, and outstanding build quality, the Polerouter is not only a masterwork of watch design, but a truly important timepiece from the most famous watch designer in history.

When you strap it on your wrist you’ll quickly see why collectors are always on the hunt for stellar examples of Polerouters such as this one!
