    In 1917, Universal Genève created its first ever chronograph wristwatch. Some 18 years later, they launched their first “Compax” model, with many variations to follow, like the Dato-Compax, Aero-Compax, or the revered Tri-Compax that featured a complete calendar with moon phases.

    The present Uni-Compax is equipped with Universal’s manual caliber 285. It features two registers at 3 and 9 o’clock indicating timekeeping seconds and 45-minute counter, respectively. Encased in stainless steel, the luminous, blued-steel sword hands nicely complement the silver dial. The slightly recessed crown integrates well into the center of the case, compared with other chronograph models where the crown more commonly sits on top of the case.

    This watch is in overall excellent condition, and includes its original box, guarantee papers, and even its Universal Genève tang buckle. Seventy years later, this watch remains in pristine condition for the discerning collector.
