Points of Mention

This watch is sold as "Watch Only" and therefore comes with no original box or paperwork. The watch comes paired with a well-suited 20mm red leather strap. The watch is from Circa. 1967 and is sold in worn vintage condition, but overall fair condition as you can see from the photographs. There are a few marks on the underside of the crystal and some debris on the logo. The watch comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

The Watch

Here we have a rarely seen 1967 Universal Geneve Unisonic Rare Buzzsaw Dial 852101 with a 35.5mm “C-shaped” stainless steel case that sits on your wrist with stubby lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 39.5mm and a case thickness of 10mm ensures a comfortable fit. On the right side a slightly recessed signed crown. A thin bezel holds a domed acrylic crystal above a distinctive sunburst red buzzsaw dial, an outer minute track is precisely executed with the ascending-sized baton markers in tones of red resulting in a creative aesthetic. At 3 o’clock a framed date window, slender baton hands infilled with Tritium is complemented by a tapered second hand. At 12 o’clock we have the Universal Geneve motif and at 6 o’clock “Unisonic”. On the reverse, a screw-down case back, inside a Tuning Fork Universal Genève calibre 2-51 is a licensed Accutron Calibre 2180F, developed by Max Hetzel and William Bennett of Bulova. The watch comes paired with a well-suited 20mm red leather strap.


Personal Note

I am forever on the hunt for interesting and unique watches, something I have never seen before and something I know you will all find equally amazing! This Universal Geneve Unisonic "Buzzsaw" is exactly one of those watches, featuring a Tuning Fork movement and the most striking dial I have seen on a UG yet, this offers a big punch for the price tag, I wouldn't hesitate on this one if it interests you!


The Brand

Universal Genève was founded in 1894 in Le Locle, Switzerland as Universal Watch, by two Horology students Ulysses-Georges Perret and Numa-Emile Descombes.  By 1919 they had moved their operations to Geneva and renamed the brand Universal Genève. They have been owned by Stelux, a Hong Kong investment group, since 1989.
