Interesting indeed. I enquired about it and it was being offered for Euro 8.5k.

Seems agressive but it looks like somebody paid it

Interesting one (although with strange caseback). Movement and dial marked Uweco Universal. https://www.sekaimon.com/itemdetail...-COMPAX+MILITARY+CHRONOGRAPH+CAL+385+REF+5938

""featuring a original and unique "No outer minute division " dial, which was a custom order item from the factory, it was printed without the classic Arabica minute divisions,""

the case stamping is perhaps even more curious than the dial. What is it a 22297/1 or a 22297/3 or a 22297/31 ?

Dial smells fishy IMHO

Interesting Berthoud with both caseback and dustcover numbered: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224969055131?hash=item3461335b9b:g:4jcAAOSwZxxicOpZ

Will this put UG Tri's on the auction map?

The estimate seems ridiculously high but...it might just happen.
Who's bidding? 🍿

This is interesting- UG did allow for certain custom order specs from what I've read in their old catalogues - so it's plausible- but still find it interesting this Seller knows that this is the exact case here on a watch that's @ 70 years old... Maybe a 1 owner watch??

maybe it's just reprinted... and all these arguments are fake.
If you have a "unique" dial you should attach pics of the front and back side of the dial. IMHO

that's the most likely. It doesn't help in these situations where someone claims custom dial or whatever, that the dial printing is suspect. The centering in the subdials is bad, the position of Tri Compax is very low, the UG text is unusual, missing swiss, etc. Plus the weird stamping on the caseback. Anyhow I'm not claiming anything specific on this particular watch as it would require research and I don't have time to do it. Often the simplest explanation is the accurate one. But UG is a strange and mysterious world as well.

Thanks, will provide pictures once in my hands 😀
It will be my first squared watch too... UG watches are slowly growing in numbers in my collection, still relatively just a few of them, but increasing
