Visually talking, watches coming from the center of the final century weren’t precisely difficult objects, however Genta’s Polerouter was totally different.

The Polerouter set the tone for UG, because it was not only a stunning and authentic mid-century object, but additionally a extremely useful and reliable one – excellent for long-haul industrial pilots of the time. Powered by refurbished, new-old-stock UG 1-69 micro-rotor actions, these three new Polerouters comply with all of those particular signatures of the progenitor – proper right down to the charms of its subtly redesigned 35.5mm case and its lyre lugs. However dispel any notion that the fashionable Polerouter shall be one other “vintage-inspired” re-edition with a matte dial and ecru SuperLuminova – these really really feel like high-end items, with glittering, three-dimensional dial particulars and impressed motion ending – leaps and bounds above something you’d count on to see on the unique 1-69.
