Universal Geneve Polerouter Automatic // 836-L103523 // c.1960's // Pre-Owned
Product Description
To shortcut the flights from Europe to California (USA) by some thousand kilometers, the airline SAS (Scandinavian Airline System) opened new routes over the North Pole in the 1950s. All crews on these flights had to take part in a special training at the "SAS's Arctic Flight School". The swiss watch manufacturer Universal Genève provided the crews with automatic precision wrist-watches that were built to be resistant against the strong magnetic field of the polar region. With the invention of the Polerouter, they became the official chronometers of SAS.
Appraised at $2,500.00.
