Universal Genève - Polerouter Automatic – Microrotor Cal. 218-2 - Men - 1950-1959

The Universal Genève Polerouter Automatic with Microrotor Caliber 218-2 is a distinguished men's watch from the 1950s, heralded for its innovative movement and timeless design. Universal Genève is revered for its contributions to mid-20th-century horology, with the Polerouter line originally designed by famed watch designer Gérald Genta. The Polerouter is notable for incorporating a microrotor—a smaller, more compact automatic winding rotor integrated into the movement rather than on top—allowing for a thinner case profile without sacrificing automatic winding capabilities. The Caliber 218-2 is a robust and precise movement renowned among collectors for its engineering quality. The watch’s elegant yet understated dial and overall craftsmanship make it an iconic vintage timepiece, symbolizing the golden era of Swiss watch design and innovation.
