Universal Genève - Microtor Cabriolet - 8101.129-008 - Men - 2010-2020

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. Model: 8101.129-008 Dial: Silver-white satin-finished dial with oversized black Arabic numerals, polished black Dauphine hands, black date indicator, black railway minute track and panoramic curved date display at 6 o’clock. The reversible Cabriolet case allows the dial to be protected when the case is rotated. Case size: 32.5 x 52 mm. Case material: Polished stainless steel rectangular Cabriolet case with patented 180-degree reversible system inspired by Universal Genève's historic 1928 invention. Glass: Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

Bracelet/strap: Brown alligator leather strap with Universal Genève stainless steel deployant clasp. WR: 50 m (5 ATM / 165 ft). Functions: Hours, minutes and panoramic date display. Caseback: Reversible sapphire display case revealing the manufacture Microtor calibre with circular Geneva stripes, blued screws, perlage decoration and engraved Universal Genève rotor. The integrated Microtor architecture allows the movement to remain exceptionally thin while preserving the convenience of automatic winding. Combined with its ingenious reversible case, elegant Art Deco-inspired styling and rich brown alligator strap, the Microtor Cabriolet stands among the most distinctive and collectible modern creations ever produced by Universal Genève.
