Universal Tri-Compax Chronograph Manual Winding Ref. 22279
We are pleased to introduce a rare Tri-Compax by Universal Genève, a brand renowned for developing micro-rotors.
The Tri-Compax is a masterpiece that represents Universal Genève.
This model, packed with features such as a triple calendar moon phase chronograph, is becoming increasingly rare to find in good condition.
This particular piece was manufactured around 1940 and is an early, non-waterproof model for a Tri-Compax.
Watches from this era often feature Arabic numerals, but this one has clean, wedge-shaped indexes that give it a smart impression.
The dial shows minimal damage, and considering its age, the overall condition is quite good, making it a truly unique find.
Regarding its condition, the case has minor scratches but no significant dents.
It is essentially unpolished, and considering its age, the case is in remarkably good condition.
The dial and hands have some scratches and dirt, but they are also in good condition for their age.
Common issues like dullness or discoloration of the indexes and hands are minimal, indicating excellent overall condition.
The crystal is also clean.
There are no other particularly noticeable flaws, and it has not been polished to maintain its original condition.
Overall, it is in good condition for its age.
The buckle is an authentic Universal stainless steel buckle. The band is aftermarket.
It has been overhauled and maintained.
