Hei, ser ut til å være en Polerouter III klokke fra 70 tallet med Caliber UG 72.

"In the 1970s, Universal Genève watchmakers continued to fine-tune the line of ball-bearing mounted micro-rotor movements and presented two new Calibres, UG 71 and UG 72, which were used in the Polerouter III watch lines.

These two Calibres shared the same characteris- tics as the family of UG 66 Calibres, albeit with a smaller overall diameter of 27mm instead of 28mm, and a new type of balance guaranteeing an oscillation frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (as did UG 215-9, UG 215-97 and UG 218-9).

The construction principle of Calibre UG 71 was nonetheless reminiscent of that of the UG 69 Calibre and did not stem directly from the UG 66 Calibres. Calibre UG 71 featured centre Seconds and a date display and was 3.90mm thick, where- as Calibre UG 72 also showed the days of the week on a second counter, increasing the total movement thickness to 4.60mm."

Caliber 72: Microtor movement with new design, 25 jewels, 21,600 A/h

The cal. 72 with a diameter of 27.0 mm instead of 28.0 mm, is completely different from the aforementioned movements. It has a date and weekday indication at the "3" and a height of 4.6 mm. The frequency increased to 21,600 vibrations per hour (like with the cal. 215-9, cal. 215-97 and cal. 218-9) while the number of jewels was reduced to 25. This is related to the use of a ball bearing for the rotor mekanisme.
The arrangement of the bridges differs very much from the classical microtor movements (cal. 215, cal. 218-2, cal. 69). The cal. 72 was used in all Polerouter models with separate windows for day and date in the late sixties.
The thinner cal. 71 (3.9 mm) without the weekday indication was not used for Polerouter models. The so-called "Super Microtor" cal. 256 (with the ending A, B or C) is not covered here deliberately. The movement has a "normal" central rotor and was produced by Movado (equivalent to cal. 395). It has 28 jewels but is of lower quality and only used in the Polerouter compact. Furthermore, all electrical or Quartz movements are ignored here.

Veldig kul klokke! :) Morsomt at Universal dukker opp i to tråder på samme dag. Kanskje @SimSVa så noe til denne i researchfasen til denne? http://www.tidssonen.no/forum/utpak...unboxing-uten-box-men-masse-kjip-tekst-26433/

Hei, kom så vidt over denne i min søken etter Universal Geneve kunnskap ;)

Det er en UG Polerouter Day Date og er vel en av de siste (nyeste) modellene av Polerouter som ble introdusert.
Hvis informasjonen stemmer så kom denne ut i 1966, (ett år etter Poulrouter III).

Hvor mye man kan stole på denne grafikken kan vel diskuteres, men den gir en grei oversikt over når de forskjellige modellene ble introdusert og hvor lenge de ble produser.

Ellers så dukker det ikke opp alt for mye informasjon på verdensveven.
