Description from the seller
Brand new, Swiss Made, Universal Genève Microtor Cabriolet Automatic watch.
Founded in 1894, Universal Genève is one of Switzerland's most innovative watch manufacturers, renowned for its pioneering Microtor movements and timeless designs. Throughout its history, the brand has introduced numerous horological innovations, including the world's first patented reversible watch case in 1928 and the legendary Microtor automatic movement.
The Microtor Cabriolet pays tribute to this remarkable heritage. Introduced in 2008, this exceptional timepiece combines a patented reversible case system with a sophisticated in-house Microtor calibre. Inspired by Universal Genève's historic Cabriolet design, the rectangular case rotates 180 degrees at the touch of a button, protecting the dial and crystal while revealing the mechanical beauty of the movement. Paired with a rich brown alligator strap, this reference offers an elegant and timeless interpretation of the Cabriolet concept.
