·Thanks. That's the first time that I've seen a depth rating for the Unisonic Sub.
Not sure I believe it, mind you 😗.

··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerMildly interesting article on the history of UG: https://www.time2tell.com/vintage/t...cture-des-montres-universal-part-one-history/
Curious remark:
"The Compur trademark was registered in 1934, and the following year a whole range of chronographs was launched, proudly exhibited at the 1935 Basel Fair. They all had two pushers, and were among the first, along with Breitling and Angélus, to feature this improvement. All cases are of high quality: gold or steel, whereas stainless steel, very expensive at the time, had only been introduced into Swiss watchmaking a few years earlier. From then on, the Universal Watch Genève brand appeared most often on dials, even though the company’s official name was still Perret & Berthoud."
Universal Watch Geneve is seen on some dials but is actually pretty rare. Earlies I know of is this one

Serial 280k. This may be a later dial because the next ones I have one file are 54x.k so around 1933. Example a 547k: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/ite...fo-a-carica-manuale-in-oro-giallo-18-kt-a-due
This one is also 547k but it looks modern: https://www.astebolaffi.it/en/lot/276/277/detail
