 What Is On My Wrist: The Universal Geneve Polerouter

One of the most notable Universal Geneve watches of the post-war era was the Polerouter. Designed by Gerald Genta. Genta was recruited by Universal Genève SA, which was at the time one of the most recognized watch companies in both Europe and the U.S. mostly recognized for the company’s Chronograph models. After Universal Genève settled a patent dispute regarding the micro-rotor caliber of movement, the Polerouter was originally manufactured as the Polarouter in 1954, containing the Cal. 138SS bumper movement which was then quickly replaced with the Cal. 215 micro rotator movements which also resulted in a subtle name change from Polarouter to Polerouter.

The Polerouter had taken on many variations within its first 15 years of production including Polerouter de luxe, Polerouter Genève, Polerouter Compact, Polerouter Super, Polerouter “NS”, Polerouter III, Polerouter Jet, and the Polerouter Sub.
