I'm not sure about the year of this model, late 50' ? Or more recent ? 😀

That particular seller seems to have quite a few boxes lately, with the same lining but no logo on the outside, and I do not like any of those boxes as they don't look authentic to me.

I've accumulated a few boxes recently, all of which I'm sure are genuine, and therefore thought this might be a useful reference.

- The two boxes at the top left are the inner and outer boxes for a late 1950s Polerouter
- The large box at the top right must be late 1960s/70s. It includes an insert for holding rings and other jewellery.
- The small brown box on the right came with a 1950s three hander
- I don't know anything about the green box. Mine's a bit tatty. It's presumably late 1950's based on the logo.
- The large flat red box is marked inside as being an ultra-thin box
- The curved red box at the front is leather and is marked UG on the clasp. Presumably 1950's again given the logo.

Large UG box with a great domed lid. What would it have been used for? Looks more like a cigarette box than a watch box.

The only UG box I have (sorry for the messy setting, it is my work desk). Came with the 60/70 aero compax.

That is correct box from mid 60's. the logo was only used in the 60s.

Another couple of great and slightly out of the ordinary UG box finds



And the pièce de résistance! An 8 piece UG watch box.

Also comes in this “briefcase” version where you can lift up the top tray for ladies watches and there’s space for the mens watches underneath. Apologies for the mess, those are old photos when I was trying to organise my stuff.

Is there a way to tell which boxes are mens watch vs womens watch? This one is about 5.25" wide x 4" and I wasn't sure....

This newly acquired box is scuffed and smells like a tobacco tin but I find it charming all the same. I have been looking for one for ages; as many have lamented, the boxes are increasingly getting as hard to find as the watches....
