The history and development of the Polo series

The use of titanium metal not only improves the portability of the watch, but also increases its durability. Titanium metal has high strength and corrosion resistance, which makes it widely used in aerospace and high-end sports equipment.
The new Polo Flying Tourbillon Moon Phase watch integrates an anti-gravity adjustment device with an astronomical moon phase function for the first time, and is equipped with an ultra-thin Cal.642P manual winding movement.
