Introduced in 1954, the model was released in partnership with Scandinavian Airline System (SAS), with the goal of creating a timepiece that was resistant to higher magnetism experienced in the North and South Poles. The Polerouter is also coveted for being a G\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eérald Genta design and at only 24 years old at the time, it is considered his first great contribution to horology. Genta would go on to design two of the most iconic pieces of the 20th century with the Nautilus and Royal Oak and more. Today, collectors are coveting the Polerouter as much as ever with the recent release of the Polerouter book in late '23. It was also around this time that the news of Breitling acquiring UG broke, which many collectors hope will further invigorate appreciation for the brand with its re-inception. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis example features a \"no date\" and non-luminous silver crosshair dial that has taken a warm patina. It houses a UG bumper automatic caliber 138 SS. It has remained in excellent vintage condition overall. The dial has some spotting but it is even and has taken a light \"cream\" tone. The case is equally nice with thick, even lugs and prominent chamfers. Notably the crown appears correct and the serial\/ref. numbers are still visible under a loupe which is very desirable for UG collectors. One might argue this variant is one of the cleanest iterations to collect and makes for a practical choice for a myriad of strap options. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Genève","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52400081469716,"sku":null,"price":6300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8603\/3428\/files\/universal-geneve-polerouter-20217-4-non-luminous-silver-dial-vintage-watches-collectors-corner-ny.jpg?v=1777899997","url":"https:\/\/collectorscornerny.com\/products\/universal-geneve-polerouter-20217-4-w-non-luminous-silver-dial","provider":"Collectors Corner NY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
