    Thrilled to be joining the Uni-Compax 124103 club, and its Chairman @Larry S !
    The serial on this one dates it to 1951/1952. Love the warmth of the 18k pink gold, in an oversized 37.5 mm case. As much as I love my various Tri-Compax, I have to admit it’s a pleasure to also have a piece that doesn’t require any complications to be set before strapping it onto the wrist and enjoying! Vintage Universal Geneve is simply the best.

    Not sure if the link will work to a quick video on Instagram, but a photo also is below.

    A relatively early ('69/'70 - "round" U) and fairly rare Altesse with a diamond linen dial on a fine UG milanese bracelet.

    I wanted to share this really cool UG I found recently. It’s a reference 21289 from around 1941 and clocks in at a monster 38mm.

    I just love everything about this watch. The two-tone dial is one I haven’t seen before, particularly at this scale. The silver minute track has developed fairly uniform patina and created a second gold-looking outer rim under certain light. I also want to bring your attention to these lugs;

    Vintage Universal Genève is the best. Still so much out there to find!

    There are so many cool elements to that watch. My favorite are those deco numerals! What a specimen!
