In 1954, Universal Genève introduced the Polerouter, a timepiece specially designed for Scandinavian Airlines Systems (SAS) polar flights. These flights followed a groundbreaking route from New York/Los Angeles directly to Europe, flying over the North Pole. The extreme magnetic fields in this region posed challenges for timekeeping instruments.
The Polerouter featured:
Elegant 35,5mm 18k yellow gold case.
Reference number 10234-1 Polerouter De Luxe.
A simple and clear dial without date indicator.
Vintage Calibre 138SS bumper automatic movement.
Caliber 138SS was introduced in 1948. Initially as Calibre 138 with a subsidiary second, then as Calibre 138 SS with a central second, and with date indicator as Calibre 138 moondate. It measures 28.2 mm in diameter and 5.55 mm in thickness.
Reference for UG Polerouter.
