    Hi All,
    I am putting my wonderful Universal Geneve Uni-compax Ref 22420-1 up for sale. I originally purchased the watch from a respected, long-standing member of OF, in the fall of 2019.

    The dial is lovely and clean with all the numerals and indices remaining clear and crisp. All hands appear to be original, the brass hour and minutes hands having patinaed nicely at the tips. The subdial and chrono seconds hands are blued. The heart of the Uni-Compax is the UG 285 manual wind chronograph movement.

    Functions: Hours, Minutes, chronograph seconds, running seconds subdial, 45-minute chronograph minutes subdial
    Dial: Great condition with applied (brass?) indices and numerals
    Case: Good condition, sharp edges, appears unpolished. Stainless steel.
    Crystal: Domed acrylic
    Dimensions: Diameter 35mm, Height 12.5mm, Lug-to-Lug 42mm
    Lug width: 17mm
    Strap: Hirsch leather strap and clasp
    Calibre: Universal Geneve 285 manual wind chronograph

    Fully serviced by the German Watchmaker in Vancouver in 2017.

    Price is reduced to $2,750 (from US$3,200) or best offer. The watch is in the Vancouver, Canada area.
    Shipping included for buyers in Canada and US. +3% for PayPal.

    So nice, but piggy bank only 2/3 full. Consider this a Canadian bump. Couple of old grainy pics from a 1950s book for your viewing pleasure... FEA24D14-04E2-4016-ABAA-CD6E8F8B0C67.jpeg 1539F970-0F68-4EC9-BDDB-862857D9B6B6.jpeg

    Wow, that first one is so unusual, I've never seen a case like that. Hard to imagine how those sides hold the crystal and dial together.

    I am motivated to move this on. Make a reasonable offer.
    This really is a beauty, hoping the photos convey that.
