Condition Report
The watch is in authentic vintage condition, with signs of use according to age. The chromed case shows visible wear, scratches, small marks and age-related patina, especially around the lugs and case edges. The stainless steel back is correctly marked and shows normal vintage wear. The silver dial has developed natural patina and light spotting, giving the watch a very attractive aged character. The applied indexes and hands remain elegant and well balanced. The acrylic crystal shows signs of use consistent with age. The watch is fitted with a generic leather strap suitable for wrists up to approximately 20 cm. Water resistance has not been tested and therefore cannot be guaranteed.

Story & Heritage
Universal Genève is one of the most respected names in Swiss horology, founded in 1894 and celebrated for its elegant dress watches, chronographs and innovative mechanical calibres. The brand is especially admired by collectors for its refined mid-century designs and beautifully proportioned cases. This Calatrava-style model reflects the pure elegance of that period: a clean round case, understated silver dial, applied indexes and a high-quality hand-wound Universal Genève movement. Its 37 mm case size gives it a particularly strong presence, making it a desirable vintage watch for collectors who appreciate rare oversized proportions and authentic Swiss craftsmanship.
