General Overview
Officially released in 1954 the Ug Polerouter was born to commemorate SAS’s (Scandanavian Airlines Systems) polar flights from New York/Los Angeles directly to Europe. Designed by a very young Gerald Genta the Polerouter design, with its twisted lugs, become immediately a milestone.
Equipped at the beginning with the bumper 138SS caliber, then with the Microtor movement the Polerouter was produced until 1969 in a large variety of references and configurations.
