Description

Our Perspective: Universal Genève was founded in 1894 and is most notably known for their Chronograph Compax watches, Genta-designed Polerouter line and impressive micro rotor movements. However, challenges such as the quartz-crisis and inadequate marketing led the brand to declare bankruptcy in the 1980s. In the late 1990s, the brand saw a brief revival after being acquired, but little progress was made. In 2019, Breitling acquired Universal Genève, sparking anticipation and interest among enthusiasts for the brand's future. This watch dates to the Late 1960s- Early 1970s and features a striking gold linen-textured dial, signed UG crown and manual winding cal. 1-42 movement, making it the perfect dress watch. Condition Report: Very good vintage condition. Case has moderate scratches and shows no plating wear. Dial and hands are in mint condition with no signs of wear. Acrylic crystal shows faint scratches near edges. Light plating wear at crown. Replacement generic strap and buckle. Condition Grade: 8 /10
