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\u003eThis example features a \"no date\" and crosshair black gilt dial that has \"tropicalized\" an attractive \"chocolate\" tone. It houses a high-grade UG micro rotor cal. 215. Overall, it has remained in nice vintage condition with an attractive dial and correct signed crown. The caseback still shows a UG logo but the ref. and serial have rubbed off as is the case with many examples. That said, the case remains very sharp with thick, evenly proportioned lugs and strong chamfers. For anyone looking for a UG with lots of character, this one tells a story, was just recently serviced so it's ready for its next chapter. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Genève","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52411456160020,"sku":null,"price":5900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8603\/3428\/files\/universal-geneve-polerouter-20360-1-tropical-dial-vintage-watches-collectors-corner-ny.jpg?v=1778019918","url":"https:\/\/collectorscornerny.com\/products\/universal-geneve-polerouter-20360-1-w-tropical-dial","provider":"Collectors Corner NY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
