The Universal Geneve Polerouter was conceived as a pilot’s watch with antimagnetic capabilities for travel in areas of extreme magnetic fields, such as the North Pole. The curved lug case is a masterpiece, the first and arguably the best of Gerald Genta’s designs. Of all the Polerouters, the broad arrow stands at the pinnacle of the line.
