Universal Genève launched the Compax model fitted with audacious and vibrant “exotic” dials, 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 this variant in silver is the rarest one of all with less than 15 examples known to have surfaced in the market. Fitted with racing red accents and a blue acrylic bezel with matching blue registers, the silver dial with the addition of a defined T-shaped matte silver shimmers in contrast, reminding one of the extremely attractive livery of an F1 sports car.
At the heart of the watch is Universal Genève’s caliber 85, based on the famed Valjoux 72. Used in iconic watches such as early manually-wound Rolex Daytonas, the Valjoux 72 holds a paramount significance in the world of chronographs, revered for its exceptional quality, reliability, and robustness.
Offered in well-preserved condition with a most probably unpolished, the present Compax is a wonderfully rare and collectible timepiece for the collector of vintage chronographs.
