The present watch, fitted with a black dial and white registers, is nicknamed "Evil Nina" due to its color scheme. It is the thematic opposite of the "Nina Rindt", which has a white dial and black registers. Nina Rindt often donned a Universal Compax with white dial and black registers to sporting events.
This model is a second generation example, evidenced by the "U" stamp. Earlier examples had an applied U logo on the dial.
The present watch is distinguished by its excellent condition. The bezel, with a "dot over 90", is correct for the period. The curved, sculpted lugs are wide in proportion, and the dial displays luminous accents that have aged with warm patina, giving the watch an unmistakably sporty appearance. It is furthermore very complete, accompanied by its original guarantee, product literature, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
