Polerouter Date Born for adventure yet celebrated for its understated elegance, the Polerouter dates to 1954, when a then 23-year-old Gérald Genta created it for Scandinavian Airlines pilots flying the pioneering polar route between Europe and North America. Here, its signature crosshair dial, twisted lugs, and beautifully balanced geometry return in contemporary form. Rich blue and cool steel give the watch an effortless versatility, while the finely articulated bracelet feels entirely at home against the tailoring-inspired backdrop. Inside, Univer- sal Genève’s modern Microtor movement continues a mechanical tradition intimately associated with the Polerouter. Simply Abu Dhabi | 231
