Universal Genève Polerouter Jet – Automatic Microrotor – Cal. 218-2

Outstanding vintage Universal Genève Polerouter Jet, powered by the renowned automatic microrotor calibre 218-2, one of the most important movements ever produced by the brand.

The cal. 218-2 is celebrated for its slim construction, technical sophistication and historical relevance, representing a key milestone in Swiss automatic watchmaking.

The elegant silver/cream dial is original, with applied hour markers and discreet lume dots. It shows light, even ageing consistent with its age, adding strong vintage character. The dial has not been restored and retains excellent balance, clarity and charm.

Stainless steel case with clean lines and correct proportions, complemented by a smooth caseback. Period-correct crown. Date window at 3 o’clock functioning properly.

The movement is visible in the photos and is running at the time of listing. Service history is unknown, which is common for vintage watches.

Fitted with a leather strap (not original).
