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. Combining a patented reversible case system with a sophisticated in-house Microtor calibre, this exceptional timepiece showcases Universal Genève's spirit of innovation. At the touch of a button, the central case module rotates and locks into position, protecting the dial while revealing the movement through the sapphire display back. Elegant, distinctive and mechanically fascinating, the Cabriolet remains one of the most original creations of modern Swiss watchmaking.
Model: 8101.129-010
Dial: Silver-toned dial featuring polished Dauphine hands, an arched railway minute track and a panoramic horizontal date display at 6 o’clock. The reversible Cabriolet case allows the dial and crystal to be protected when the central case is rotated.

Case material: Polished 316L stainless steel rectangular Cabriolet case with patented reversible rotating system inspired by Universal Genève's historic 1928 invention.

WR: 50 m (5 ATM / 165 ft).

The integrated Microtor architecture allows the movement to remain exceptionally thin while preserving the convenience of automatic winding.
