Universal Genève had seen a rise in the last few years, especially the Polerouter line, designed by no other that the great Gerald Genta, yes, the same person who designed some of the most iconic timepieces in existence including the Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.
Inside you see an elegantly finished movement with an innovative micro-rotor that is a trademark for the brand and a breakthrough for the watch industry.
This is the quintessential Polerouter for me, everything you could want in one iconic package. A stunning black dial with crosshair lines, the legendary Microtor movement, elegant twisted lugs, all wrapped up in a perfectly balanced 34mm case. An absolute classic!
CONDITION
The twisted lug case retains all its shape and lines, with light and honest signs of use. The case retains its original signed crown.
The watch has been recently serviced and keeps good time for a watch of its age.
