Universal Genève Polerouter Date "Stingray"

1960 | Stainless steel | Automatic | 34.5mm

Sale price€3.800,00

The Universal Genève Polerouter Date is the kind of vintage piece that wins you over the moment you see it. This example is special itself, with a dial that has aged into a unique, speckled texture—reminiscent of stingray skin—that gives the watch tons of character and makes it truly one-of-a-kind. The classic 34mm case, designed by a young Gérald Genta, wears beautifully thanks to its slim profile and iconic twisted lugs. Inside ticks UG’s famous Microtor automatic movement, known for being both innovative and reliable. Altogether it’s a Polerouter with real personality: stylish, wearable, and made even more special by a dial you won’t find duplicated anywhere else.

Universal Genève

Established in 1894 in Le Locle, Switzerland, Universal Genève quickly became a pioneer in the world of Swiss horology, particularly noted for its expertise in crafting chronographs. By the mid-20th century, the brand had gained a stellar reputation for producing some of the finest and most innovative wristwatches of the time. Universal Genève was a trailblazer in the development of micro-rotor movements, with models like the Polerouter, designed by Gerald Genta, becoming iconic for their technical precision and elegant design. The brand's Compax series, including Tri-Compax and Aero-Compax, revolutionized chronograph design and were beloved by professionals in aviation and motorsports.

Universal Genève's focus on creating both functional and aesthetically pleasing timepieces made it one of the premier Swiss watchmakers of the 20th century. Today, vintage Universal Genève models are highly coveted by collectors due to their historical significance, craftsmanship, and classic designs that remain timeless. Universal Genève’s enduring legacy in watchmaking innovation and elegance secures its place among the greats in horology.
