Universal Genève - Polerouter Automatic – Microrotor Cal

UNIVERSAL GENEVE Polerouter Automatic – Micro-rotor Cal. 218-2 (circa 1958–1962) One of Universal Genève’s most representative references, equipped with the prestigious 28-jewel micro-rotor caliber 218-2, developed from Gérald Genta’s revolutionary design for the Polerouter line. This movement is considered a milestone in Swiss watchmaking for its thinness, efficiency, and build quality. The gold-plated case preserves an elegant presence, though it shows wear typical of use and the passage of time, especially on the lugs and the bezel, where there is loss of plating and superficial oxidation. The stainless steel back bears normal signs of use. The original silver dial displays a very pronounced patina with abundant oxidation spots and uniform aging, features that many collectors value for their authenticity. It retains its applied indices, dauphine hands, and the date window at 3 o’clock. Inside it houses the Universal Genève caliber 218-2, automatic micro-rotor, 28 jewels, visible in the photographs. The movement appears complete, clean, and without evident signs of major interventions, preserving Universal Genève’s characteristic finish.
