The model nickname “Nina Rindt” came from the wife of famed Formula One driver, Jochen Rindt, who was seen wearing the model, and collectors chose that name because of her cool sexy demeanor. The “Panda” dial is reminiscent of the famed “Paul Newman Panda” with white dial and black subsidiary dials.
One of the finest Universal Compax chronograph to be offered in recent years, this example is highlighted by its excellent condition and with attractive “tropical” subsidiary dials. This particular lot falls into the serial range of 2.569 million, where batches of dials are believe to be found to develop tropical effect. Making this configuration rare and desirable. This is a opportunity to buy a stunning and very rare vintage chronograph watch with mesmerising tropical subsidiary dials.
Universal Genève was founded in Le Locle, Switzerland in 1894 and was originally known as "Universal Watch." Since its inception, Universal Genève has produced watches with unusually high quality for their price point. Universal was among the first brands to introduce a chronograph wristwatch.
Today, the firm's vintage models are highly sought-after and desired for their oversized cases and interesting dial designs. Key models include a variety of "Compax" models such as the "Nina Rindt" or "Evil Nina," the Uni-Compax, the Space-Compax, the Aero-Compax and the Film-Compax.
