圖錄文章
Aptly named the “Exotic Nina”, Universal launched a Compax model that dresses in a far more vibrant blue attire with the reference 885’107 silver dial & 885’108 with a blue dial. The exotic series is not only much rarer than the already scarce panda variants, it is notable that the Exotic Nina in silver is the rarest one of all with less than 15 examples surfaced in the market. Fitted with racing red accents and bakelite blue bezel with matching blue registers, the silver dial with the addition of a defined T-shaped matte silver shimmers in contrast which reminds one of the extremely attractive paint job of an F1 sports car.

Absolutely well-preserved and offered in remarkable condition with an unpolished case, signed crystal and supremely stunning combination, the present specimen from the 70s is undoubtedly a rare and collectible timepiece for the collector of vintage chronographs.

Swiss | 1894
Universal Genève was founded in Le Locle, Switzerland in 1894 and was originally known as "Universal Watch." Since its inception, Universal Genève has produced watches with unusually high quality for their price point. Universal was among the first brands to introduce a chronograph wristwatch.
Today, the firm's vintage models are highly sought-after and desired for their oversized cases and interesting dial designs. Key models include a variety of "Compax" models such as the "Nina Rindt" or "Evil Nina," the Uni-Compax, the Space-Compax, the Aero-Compax and the Film-Compax.
