With its very-large-for-the-time 38m diameter, strong masculine proportions and stainless steel case, this example of watchmaking for the mid-twentieth century is the ideal piece for the discerning collector of vintage watches looking for both an addition to their collection and also an everyday companion to his or her wrist.
The luminous, absolutely unrestored dial exudes the charm of that era. The passage of time has granted it an immensely appealing light patina, and the luminous numerals have also aged to an attractive chestnut hue. The broad hands allow for perfect readability, and the same holds true for the oversized three subsidiary counters.

Swiss | 1894Universal 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.
