Hi OF

Due to my relentless buying I have to let go of watches I no longer wear that often. Up for sale is this nice and iconic UG Polerouter 20360-1 with a patinated black dial that turned into an attractive brown. I bought it from my watchmaker in late 2021, who of course had serviced it before.

The watch and condition:

Model: Universal Genève Polerouter 20360-1
Movement: 215 microtor movement with the sought after "patented rights pending". It was last serviced in May 2021. I have a service confirmation.
Dial: Original black dial with crosshairs that turned brown from ageing. Depending on the light, it presents itself quite differently, see pictures. Radium lume on dial still present.
Hands: The hands show signs of oxidation. My watchmaker sympathetically restored the previously relumed hands with radium scraped off donor watches. I think he did a great job.
Case: Signs of wear and use, especially on the back, but nothing that's an eye-sore when wearing the watch.
Crystal: Original signed crystal
Crown: Original signed crown.
Dimensions: 35.5mm in diameter without the crown, 19mm lug width.
Accessories: None. Sold head-only

Terms: I'm asking CHF 1790 incl. shipping. No returns unless grossly misrepresented. The watch and I are located in Switzerland. Preferred payment methods are Wise and bank transfer.

I have plenty of reviews here.

If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks OF for the space.

I am genuinely puzzled as to why this lovely watch is still sitting here.

Congrats to the new owner. That’s a very interestingly aged dial.

@imver first time I’ve heard is using lume from a donor similary aged watch. It turned out great!
