Get your hands on this vintage Universal Genève White Shadow Ultra Slim with serviced cal. 2-66 Microtor movement. Stainless steel, silver sunburst dial, original crystal, guaranteed and ultra-slim design.
Model History
Introduced in the late 1960s, the Universal Genève White Shadow line was part of the brand’s revolutionary pursuit of ultra-thin automatic watches. At the heart of these models was the iconic Microtor movement - a technical achievement that placed a compact, off-centre oscillating weight inside the main plate, allowing the entire calibre to remain remarkably slim.
The cal. 2-66, fitted in this reference, belongs to the later generation of micro-rotor movements, known for improved efficiency, elegant finishing and proven reliability. The White Shadow became one of Universal Genève’s emblematic dress watches of the era, combining sleek mid-century design with some of the most advanced micromechanical engineering of its time.
