Here is an exceptional and rare Polerouter Date, characterized by its very beautiful case with impeccable finishes on the lugs, made by Huguenin Frères (with HF signature), its signed screw-down crown and its magnificent blue dial with all tritium dots intact with finely lined hour track, as well as a trapezoid date window. The watch’s extra touch of magic lies in the five-row Gay Frères bracelet signed Universal Genève from 1966.
UNIVERSAL GENÈVE POLEROUTER DATE AUTOMATIC
Automatic winding Universal Geneve caliber - Circa 1966
Sold
On November 15, 1954, the first commercial flight to pass over the North Pole took place, flying from Copenhagen to Los Angeles. Universal Genève equipped automatic watches for the pilots of the Scandinavian Airline System (SAS) who had been preparing to carry out these commercial flights. The Polarouter would therefore take the name of this experience above the Pole, becoming the service watch of the airline’s pilots, and subsequently the Polerouter we all know.
