AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Universal Genève Uni-Compax, elegant vintage manual-wind chronograph, reference 124150-1, characterized by a generously sized case for its era and an attractive original patinated dial.
The case, with a diameter of about 37 mm, is made of 18 kt gold (750/1000), as evidenced by the hallmarks on the inside of the caseback.
The dial presents an even patina due to the passage of time, clearly visible in the photographs. It preserves the bi-compax configuration, with the small seconds counter and the chronograph counter, applied Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 o'clock, and peripheral scales.
The watch is powered by a manual-wind mechanical chronograph movement, Universal Genève caliber 285, 17 jewels.
