p = page? (french for page )
Where are the images from?

 

not sure it would make sense to put the page number only on the last page and non of the other pages?

 

+1. And the number of pages is lower

Thanks. That's the first time that I've seen a depth rating for the Unisonic Sub.

Not sure that we have a record of this booklet/guarantee yet? It seems to show authorized dealers from around the world. Very interesting, they even had an agent in Fiji !!!

Mildly 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
