The box itself I think we've seen before but not the printing on the lid.

If I had to guess, I would say it was from the South American or US markets.

Is it still available?
I believe it sold already.
It was offered for 800€ - I hesitated a bit too long and when I looked again a few hours later, the listing was gone.

I was hoping for some guidance 🤣 i have a 1945 Tri-Compax reference 22258 in amazing original condition with the original buckle and I've been looking for a box forever. Its from the first 12 month production run when they released the Tri-compax in 1944 for the companies 50th Anniversary and I'm dying to find a box for the thing.
I noticed in here peoole seem to hoard the boxes without having the corresponding watch to go with it so though I would ask for help. I have about 100 rare vintage boxes and over 300 vintage watches, happy to trade or pay, if only I could find one.🤣

Well they base themselves on the table in Sala I think. Anyway: this is an early one but not a very early one

I’m misinterpreting my own table. 1946 it is. First series was 1944 or early 1945

Ignore these sites. They know nothing. And did UG really say something about your movement number? That would be a first

Yes when I bought I enquired with them directly and they said the serial on the movement was a 1944 manafacture date
