    This one is getting a spa treatment now... Amazing how well the dial has aged in +/- 80 years. [​IMG]

    It is indeed a correct dial. The watch is mid 30's and 18ct gold. I think the cases, movements and dials in that period were basically the same for all brands that used the UG/Martel chronograph calibers. Only the engraving and finishing and name on the dial differ.
    This one has a serial pretty close to mine and is recently auctioned:

    Universal had the same dial lay-out for the early Compurs:

    Cool watch indeed. :)

    Caught that auction on auctionata. Not a hinged hunter and lacking the vertigo snail.
