路Hello All,
Today I have the absolute pleasure of sharing with you something I find quite amazing, and am quite privileged to be able to witness - two identical UGs only exactly 70 serial numbers apart from ~1955 sitting next to each other 65 years later.
The watches in question are reference 20005 2 - a cool automatic model featuring the beautiful calibre 138, an early iteration of what will later be the 138SS. The real killer feature of these watches is the two tone dial with bauhaus themed sunken markers.. really a one of a kind design I have rarely seen on any watch, even outside of UG. From my knowledge the dials were made by Beyeler. Interesting to note that one of the dial has turned a darker, more 'tropical' tone whilst the other remains immaculate.
Casebacks side by side. (Last 2 digits are hidden for privacy, hope you may understand but exactly 70 serials apart).
Again Side my side.
Inner Caseback (identical for both)
Cal 138 in all its glory.
I hope you all can enjoy this comparison. I believe it to be an incredible 'coincidence' (though personally more of a free will thinker) of having reunited two brothers and thought it might be worthy of a post. Wishing you all a pleasant quarantine Sunday.
