Universal Genève Information

Here’s an interesting detail from two Spanish advertisements for the Universal Genève Polerouter: both watches are fitted with a JB Champion bracelet, specifically the TK model, as noted in the Polerouter book. What makes this notable is that the bracelet features 17mm end links, while the watch has 19mm lugs. Despite the visible gap between the bracelet and the case, this was an original factory configuration.

Indeed. Interesting to see that a different metal can be a different reference

Out of a small catalog we have one Compur 30 and one Compax 30, so they are quite visible in the marketing. I wish we could solve what it means ! 🤔

Well given that one of them is waterproof and the other not the 30m waterproof idea is now officially dead 😜

The pricing is very interesting. The Tri compax is not significantly priced over the time only, maybe 30% in SS. In gold it's only about 15% increase. And then the TDMP is the same price as time only!! I know what I would have bought !!!

What year is that from? Approximately
It was listed on eBay, the seller said it didn’t have a date, but he thought it was from the 50s. I’m thinking maybe the 40s?
