Universal Geneve Polerouter Geneve Date, Ref. 204604-9, Microtor 218-2, with Box

Description

This is a rare original 34mm steel Universal Geneve “Polerouter Geneve” wristwatch, reference 204604-9, powered by the automatic Microtor Calibre 218-2, made circa 1960s. The Microtor movement was among the thinnest automatic movements in the world at its introduction, built around a compact oscillating mass that sits between the movement’s bridges rather than on top, shaving off precious millimeters. It keeps the watch slim and wearable in a way that a full-rotor automatic of the same era simply cannot match.

The dial is the star here – a deep chocolate-brown gloss that original factory black lacquer develops over decades through natural oxidation. It’s exactly the kind of patina that serious collectors actively search for, impossible to fake and impossible to stop. The applied baton indexes with luminous dots and the date window at 3 o’clock add to its vintage charm. The watch comes with its original box, adding to its collectibility.
