Points of Mention

This watch is sold “Watch Only” and, therefore, comes without its Universal Geneve box or paperwork. It is paired with an 18mm leather strap. The watch is from Circa 1952 and, as you can see, is in very fair condition for its age. It comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

The Watch

Here we have a rare early classic 1952 Universal Genève Monodatic Bumper Automatic with a polished 35mm round stainless steel case that gently curves over your wrist thanks to the sculpted finely tapered drilled lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 43mm and a case thickness of 10.5mm ensures a comfortable fit. On the right side a domed coin-edged crown. The smooth polished bezel holds a domed crystal above a striking silver two-toned sector dial. Applied Arabic and dagger indexes mark the hours surrounding pips around the centre; at 3 o’clock, a date window with Cyclops magnification and numerals in red and black, elegant polished Dauphine hands sit majestically in the centre above a beautifully executed sub seconds at 6 o’clock, perfectly balancing this sophisticated dress watch, at 12 o’clock we have the Universal Genève motif and “Monodatic” printed above the sub-seconds. On the reverse, a screw-down case back, inside a bumper automatic UG Cal. 138C, 17 jewels. It comes paired with an 18mm leather strap and pin buckle.
