Overall I find these Universal Geneve watches from the 40s the best looking watches of the era... Does anybody else have UG from the 1940s that look like these?

 

Just one from the 40's...but I'd love to have a few more.

 

I got this one, serial number 1,2xx,xxx. Should be from around 1945-1946. I have another tricompax from the same era but is being serviced (been half a year sigh....)

 

Really like the one on the right most, looks very elegant somehow.

 

My 1941 Compax.

 

Not a UG but I believe this is from the late 40's early 50's.

 

Gallet is very underrated, they used Excelsior Park movements in some of their chronographs

 

+1 and very handsome as well.

 

Here are a couple of my UGs from the 40's.

Tri-Compax and Aero-Compax

 

Stunning watches!

 

WOW! nice Aero-Compax biw

 

Thanks 88cut... I totally agree with you. Yes, this one has an E. Park Cal 40. I really like mine... and lately my wife has taken a liking towards it

 

Thanks. Glad to have found this forum.

 

Dibs on both, wow I think I am the first

 

UG designers of had an eye for Arabic numeral fonts. Love the art deco styles.

 

Thanks. Can you post a pic of your Avatar watch? I like the bezel on your UG chronograph.

Up until the 70s their designs were just perfect!

 

Beware: a couple of Compaxes and a 262 are just the gateway drugs....
