    A beautiful 100% factory original watch from the 40's. The part used to build this watch was likely bought from UG and martell, and finished in at the zenith factory. Some would claim Zenith finished their pieced with a higher level of detail.
    In the UG bible by Sala there are long descriptions about the collaboration between Zenith and Universal Genevè at that time. And its likeliness is uncanny to the UG compax modell.
    I have scoured the internett for a similar zenith but the closest I get is the uni compax models. This is a rare bird you would most likely never find again.

    Size: With its 33.5 mm it wears larger due to its thick size.
    Dial and Hands : Beautifull blue steal hands with original lume.
    Radium numbers
    Clean dial with patina. Some discolor and loss at the edge of the tachy scale.
    Movement: Clean movement ZENITH 122. Watch runs and all functions work properly. The chrono resets to 59 and not 00.

    The watch was bought from an old watchmakers estate before the previous owner, who had it cleaned before selling it to me.
    This is a special watch with a lot of history. Hopeing it will go to a good home in the Omega family.

    This is also my first listing here on OF, but trust that you shop safe with me. I have multiple references from the leading Norwegian website for selling and buying, and the Facebook group klokkeriet.

    Prize: Asking 3̶0̶0̶0̶ now 2500 USD for this beauty. Feel free to contact me for questions or anything else regarding the watch.
    Best regards, Eirik

    Weekend bump and final reduction to 1900 USD.
    This is a true vintage beauty, with a combined UG and Zenith history. What more can one wish for.
