The style of the Trans-global is instantly recognisable and whilst it was first introduced in 1954, it still looks fresh today.

In the 1950s, Scandinavian Airline Systems were flying transatlantic and to reduce the duration of the flight, flew directly over the North Pole.  The high magnetic fields encountered over the North Pole played havoc with the timekeeping systems of the aircraft and crew, leading the airline to approach Universal Geneve to manufacture a wristwatch with high anti-magnetic properties; this watch became known as the “Polerouter” (although originally called “Polarouter”).  

The Polerouter was designed by a then 23 year old Gerald Genta who is perhaps more well-known for designing the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. It was manufactured from 1954 – 1969.


The Smiths Trans-global is a modern take on this design with a 38mm diameter case (the Polerouter was originally 34.5mm), sapphire crystal, screw-down crown, screw back. Water resistance rating of 100 metres and an anti-magnetic rating of 20,000 A/m.

The Bracelet screws are not fully tightened to allow for easy first-time adjustment.
After sizing please tighten and we suggest using a removable threadlock such as
Loctite Blue 242 to secure the screws.


The Trans-global is available with 6 different dial and hand combinations:
• Black dial with golden hands and indices
• Cream dial with golden hands and indices
• Royal blue dial with golden hands and indices
• Ice blue dial with golden hands and indices
• Salmon dial with polished silver hands and indices
• Aventurine dial with polished hands and indices
