圖錄文章
In celebration of their 50th anniversary in 1944, Universal released the Tri-Compax as the new flagship model. The Tri-Compax gets its name from the three complications featured in the watch. On top of the indications for the chronograph function on the dial and the signature black tachymeter bezel, the timepiece is further completed with triple calendar and moon phases – special features which were rarely fitted in a chronograph during the 1960s.

Powered by the caliber 281, the present Tri-Compax is instantly recognizable by its black/white dial, which confers a sporty and dynamic chic to the watch. Universal wristwatches have become increasingly popular nowadays, and the market for the Tri-Compax model is particularly booming. Offered in overall excellent condition, the present lot is a rare timepiece which epitomizes the perfect union of professional-grade timekeeping function and complex horological complications.

Universal

Swiss | 1894
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.
