This model is housed in solid 18K yellow gold, in the De Luxe version of the Polerouter family. It combines the celebrated case geometry of the line with the weight and presence of a precious metal. The smooth bezel and classic proportions create a balanced and focused dress watch from one of Universal Geneve's most important periods.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Genta-Designed Classic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe Polerouter was designed by a young Gerald Genta in 1954 for Scandinavian Airlines pilots flying new routes over the magnetic North Pole. The watch needed to be resistant to the strong magnetic fields encountered on these flights, a technical problem Universal Geneve was chosen to solve. This 1960s example benefits from the brand's innovative micro-rotor automatic movement, which allowed for a significantly thinner case profile while maintaining self-winding capability.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Lines Intact\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eVery Good Vintage Condition overall, with a solid gold case that retains its original lug shapes and factory lines. The case shows light wear consistent with its age, but the definition remains. The champagne sunburst dial surface is preserved, and the hands are intact. The watch is fitted to a dark brown leather strap with a simple buckle, complementing the gold case. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Gold On The Wrist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe case has a discreet footprint, but the solid 18K gold construction gives it a noticeable substance on the wrist. It's a watch that wears with the considered elegance of a mid-century design. The combination of a Genta design, a historically important model line, and a solid gold execution gives this Polerouter a lasting hold. It remains a core piece for vintage collectors for its history and its enduring proportions.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10357\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polerouter De Luxe\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1960s\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34mm (Excluding Crown)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark Brown Leather\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne Sunburst, Gold Stick Indices\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47.1g\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1915\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit And Customization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch should feel like it was made for your wrist from the moment you put it on.
