We will notify you by email when this watch, the same model, or a related model becomes available.
We are pleased to introduce a rare Tri-Compax by Universal Genève, renowned for its development of the micro-rotor and other innovations.
The Tri-Compax is one of Universal Genève’s signature masterpieces.
With its wealth of functions—including a triple calendar, moon phase, and chronograph—it is a model for which well-preserved examples are becoming increasingly scarce. This is a rare piece retaining all of its original components.
This watch was produced around 1960 and was a model that offered high water resistance for its time as a Tri-Compax.
The Buckle is original Universal Genève stainless steel. The Strap is aftermarket.
