Hi, Im looking to buy an universal geneve Compax have always been interested in the brand but cannot find much information regarding to this model. Can anybody help me out? Thanks
It's legit, powered by a Lemania 1873 manual wind, produced from mid 80's to late 90's. Not the most interesting from a collector point of view but are good nice watches, i see them as the last sigh of UG as a prestigious brand. Much, much better than the horrible ones powered by the Valjoux 7750 produced around the same time. Here's mine:
18 jewel movement marked as 17 so that narrows it to @1988 production right? Great movement I’ve got one in my Speedy pro and my Sinn 903 Navitimer.
I have a UG brochure that includes this model. On a first glance I'd say that yours looks good; I'll scan in the document and post it up; probably tomorrow. I echo the assertion, admittedly only an opinion, that the movement in these are much nicer than the 7750s.
