I've had this for a while - it is illustrated in the book "Vintage Wristwatches", which has too little of too much. 300 micron (yes, very thick) 14k gold capped steel ant-magnetic case with bombe lugs and steel back, 28j cal. 215 microtor movement. These watches are the result, as I understand it, of the very young Gerald Genta's first big design success. It's small by today's standards (34.5mm), but still looks great!

Oh boy, these black dial are lovely

Below is mine which used to be my dad's.



I have no idea on what are the differences between a Polerouter and a Polerouter Jet ?

If someone around would be kind enough to enlighten me, I'll be very thankful 😀

best regards - Fred

edit: found the answer on polerouter.de. Basically a cheaper version of the Polerouter line.

I think you started something, Chris. Here's my Super. I'm thinking the "Super" refers to water resistance, as it has a big ol' screw-down crown.

Great shots guys! As Fred discovered, almost all you ever wanted to know about these fine watches, inspired by 18 hours or so in a DC-6 on the SAS trans-polar route from Copenhagen to Los Angeles via Winnipeg, can be found on the web at polerouter.de
