Universal Genève Polerouter Jet MicroRotor

I thought I’d share my latest purchase, UG Polerouter Jet, 1960.

This is the micro rotor caliber movement, an interesting complication that is rarely seen.

Here it is with my 1944 JLC ref 159 which I’m not sure I shared either.

Very nice. Love those vintages. Do you happen to have a photo of the movement?

Congrats Joe! Great looking Polerouter....I've been looking for one, too, but prices are on the rise after a couple of sites said they were a great value proposition. Love the "microtor" on the dial!

Very quickly on the rise! A few months back, a good Polerouter could be had under $1,000. Not really easy anymore.

I love the UG Polerouter. They are still great value, they have a long way to go to catch up with the likes of a Rolex Explorer for example. I could buy 10 of these for one decent 1016:
