That can't be a real Climate-Proof - it actually appears to have weathered the elements rather well 馃槣.

Round pushers with gaskets hold out moisture a lot better than the previous rectangular style pushers Uni-Compax Maybe thats the idea behind the name.

+1 ...UG are like crack. I've been hooked ever since I saw that first 35mm Tri Compax in a Paris shop last year and the owner would not sell it to me because he was convinced I could not get it serviced in the states. I now have 6. For me the 30's 40's 50's are magical. I am impressed with the 60's sport models but not with the prices.

I had the same experience with a seller in Spain last year. As if the superiority of our ice-cube-making technology and toilet paper softness were not self-evident.

After being so long dismantled in a tray, I finally decided yesterday evening to put all the pieces of this very early 1943 Tri-Compax together ...

I have to check if there is any number on the movement... Currently the watch is out for a new crystal.

Be careful with UG, you can be entering in a bottomless hole

My one and only(so far!)UG. Received when I purchased a lot with 10-15 watches 5-6 years ago.

Cal 347 Unitas movement

Runs accurately




About as big as a Silver Dollar but not as thick as one.
