Hi Everyone,

I'm preparing a cross-Canada move and I'm thinning my Universal Geneve collection.

For sale, a 23 Jewels automatic Universal Geneve in Stainless steel with a cool engine turned bezel. Serial numbers date this watch to the late 50s early 60s. The watch was destined for the US market. It's been discussed here https://omegaforums.net/threads/universal-geneve-automatic-23-jewels-with-a-17-jewel-movement.96375/

Case: Sharp edges and I don't believe that it has been polished. Minor scratches from wear throughout, but in very good condition. Screw back case. The thick lugs make it wear bigger. 35mm x 41mm

Dial: Sunburst with some light staining between 5 and 6 o'clock and its starting to develop a lovely patina.

Hands: Original with lume matching the dots on the dial.

Crown: Signed and original

Crystal: Has a few scratches and doesn't have the logo.

Movement: 215-97 (17 jewels + 5 hidden under the microrotor = 23 jewels) which has a higher beat of 21 600 vibrations/amplitudes per hour. It runs well and accurate time keeps time, it's been cleaned and oiled in May.

I'm asking 600 (NOW 500$) OBO USD (Paypal F&F or wire transfer) and will include Canada post tracked and insured shipping in Canada, US and Europe. Watch is located in Vancouver, Canada. I have lots of references here and have been an active member for some time.
