The vertically brushed case sides transition into slender lugs with a lug-to-lug length of 35mm, allowing the watch to disappear under a shirt cuff while maintaining a sophisticated presence. On the right side, a low-profile crown keeps the geometric lines uninterrupted. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA flat crystal sits flush above a sunburst silver dial, epitomising formal dress watch design. The dial features elongated, printed baton hour markers that radiate toward the centre, complemented by delicate black needle hands. At noon, the applied Universal Genève \"U\" logo serves as the only flourish on this incredibly balanced and minimalist timepiece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the reverse, a snap-on case back protects the refined In-house Universal Calibre 1-42. This manually wound movement is a noted piece of engineering, designed specifically for the brand's ultra-thin dress watches. 17 jewels, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, it foregoes a second hand to maintain the dial's clean aesthetic, focusing purely on reliable, slimline timekeeping. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe watch comes paired with a well-suited 19mm leather strap and pin buckle, which emphasises the tapering lines of the 842114 case.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-cb276d81-7fff-3b34-2752-92f717d696f5\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Geneve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56665481642364,"sku":"842114","price":650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0771\/3366\/files\/1_8d6a6f20-849a-487c-9030-c00102e3aee7.jpg?v=1776853247","url":"https:\/\/kibblewatches.co.uk\/products\/1967-universal-geneve-tank-manual-28x35mm-842114","provider":"KibbleWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
