WHY WE LOVE IT
Universal Geneve is a very special brand, and one that most of us here at Analog:Shift and vintage enthusiasts alike feel very strongly about. While probably best known for the Polerouter, the line of chronographs known as the 'Compax' is a close second - and for us, the ranks as one of the most desired models of vintage chronographs. Ever since its debut in the 1940s, it has seen numerous iterations ranging from more complicated and elegant dress pieces - to proper sporty racing chronographs with a more substantial case. This particular Compax, a Reference 222101/1, exists somewhere in the middle. There's an undoubted elegance to the layout of the dial, but the fact that the case is steel makes it more utilitarian than that of a precious metal. Dating to the early 1960s, it features a 36mm twisted-lug case, a brushed silver Tritium dial with radial brushed sub registers and a blue tachymeter chapter ring, a matching dauphine handset, and UG's Calibre 281 mhand-cranking chronograph movement within. The culmination of design details like the brushed dial with the applied 'U' logo at 12:00, the gorgeous twisted-lug case, and the elegant dauphine handset, leave us with a truly excellent package that represents phenomenal value next to its better know competitors in its day such as the Rolex Daytona and Heuer Carrera. When you strap it on your wrist you'll quickly see why collectors are always on the hunt for exceptional Compaxes such as this one!
OVERALL CONDITION The case is in excellent condition overall showing normal signs of wear from age and use. Brushed silver Tritium dial with tachymeter chapter ring is in equally excellent condition with matching 'dauphine' handset. Unsigned crown.
