Universal Compax, année 1940

Universal Genève Compax – Vintage chronograph restoration

Produced in 1940, this Universal Genève stands out for its simplicity and robustness.

Its stainless steel case houses the calibre 285 with Breguet hairspring, measuring 31.7 mm in diameter, 6.35 mm in height, and beating at 18,000 vibrations/hour.

Its silver dial with Roman numerals conveys timeless, understated elegance.

Technically, the movement features a clever construction: a traditional clutch on the bridge side and a second on the mainplate side for the hour counter, using a pinion directly engaging the barrel drum.

A modest watch at first glance, yet one that perfectly embodies the reliability and craftsmanship of Universal Genève.
