It is said that the Devil is the details...
... and I feel this old humble watch I found several years ago is a good example of that saying. The 35,5 mm gold case may be a little small for today standards I know, but it is a delight to wear it anyway. It’s condition tells it has been worn very litt...
This is a very beautiful piece Abel, thanks for sharing
Of course I was familiar with the usual Polerouter UG but did not know about the original name Polarouter ; also for the caliber, I did not know they started with a bumper movement before the famous micro rotor one (which the legend says would have inspir...
Thank you so much for your kind comments Mike! It is my pleasure to share this watch here and the little info I gathered about it though I'm no expert...
... In the brand or model. These facts I learned when I bought this watch years ago and investigated as I was surprised by the little different name and discovering it had a bumper movement instead of the micro rotor I expected. I was thrilled by the expl...
Thank you so much Walter! My big pleasure to share some little info I gathered about this beautiful old watch! Please read...
... My anwer to Mike above. All the best ! Abel
That’s a big compliment my dear Walter! It is true...
... I love watches and that they bring me joy and feel passion for hunting and wearing them. I just try to get some little info around those I own or those I admire so much and it is always a big pleasure to share them here! Appreciate your kind comments ...
A true beauty!
The De Luxe is very elegant! Another treasure for you deep hidings, dear friend! Best Blomman
Bill Sohne had the very same model in steel . . .
. . . years ago (except for the double signature), and was rightfully proud, as are you, Abel. One of the most exquisite executions of a crosshair dial ever. Congratulations, and then some! Art
Thank you so much for your kind comments dear Art!! Didn´t know that Bill Sohne had a similar one! Very interesting! I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Sohne during ...
... our meeting in NY and was delighted to see him as I have been a reader of his articles about Omega since a long time. Thank you again my dear Art! All the best, Abel.
Just spoke with Bill, and he says . . .
. . . he had two, one steel, the other gold clad. Neither were chronometer rated, and as far as he knows, none of the bumper Polarouters were chronometers. So you've got the cream of the crop with yours, Abel!
Ah dear Art! That´s interesting to know! Thank you for checking with Bill, I appreciate so much. Now please note...
... my watch is not marked chronometer on the dial either, so it would confirm that. It says "De Luxe" and I wonder if this inscription means that it has some special feature on dial or case? As you see, I know very little about this brand and variants! T...
