The culmination of design details like the gorgeous graduated chapter ring with the integrated asymmetric date window, the 'crosshair' dial, the svelte 'microtor' movement, the twisted lug case, and the outstanding build quality, leave us with a truly important watch from the most famous watch designer in history. This particular Polerouter, a Reference 204612/2, dates to circa 1964-'65 and features a stainless steel twisted-lug case with a glossy black Tritium dial with a matching dauphine handset, a signed 'big crown', and UG's Calibre 69 automatic-winding micro-rotor movement within. With its ties to the great Gerald Genta - who was only 24 when he designed it - stunning looks, a horologically-significant movement and an interesting history to boot, the Polerouter is that one amazing value proposition that punches far above its weight class. ![]() ![]() Very rare is the watch that can check multiple boxes in the hearts and heads of watch collectors, which is the very reason that any collector - or future collector - needs a Polerouter.
