Model History:

Universal Genève is especially admired for its elegant mid-century watches and its work on slim mechanical movements. Reference 842101 reflects that quieter side of the brand: a restrained, two-hand dress watch whose slim profile and uncluttered dial put the emphasis on proportion and finish.

This example pairs a subtly brushed grey dial with contrasting Roman numerals, slender hands and Universal Genève’s signed crown. Inside is the hand-wound calibre 42, a 17-jewel movement measuring just 2.45 mm in height.

Condition

The watch is in very good vintage condition. The grey dial has a subtle brushed appearance that becomes more apparent as the light changes. Its Roman numerals and Universal Genève signature remain clear and legible. A few small specks or minor marks are visible on close inspection of the dial.

The stainless steel case retains an attractive slim shape. There are fine scratches on the bezel and case sides, along with small marks on the lugs consistent with age and use. The case back also shows surface scratches, while the reference and serial number remain legible. The signed crown is present.

The original crystal has been polished and presents clearly, though it may retain minor signs of age visible at certain angles. The watch is fitted with a new black leather strap. Its hand-wound movement has been serviced and is running well; the watch is covered by a 3-month functionality guarantee.


I aim to capture the condition of the watch accurately. Please make sure to review the pictures closely before bidding.

The watch has been completely serviced by a professional watchmaker and tested for full functionality. The water resistance of the watch cannot be guaranteed.
