Universal Genève 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, full stop.
The Tri-Compax line builds on the Compax, combining high-end manufacture with outstanding designs that evolved with the times, and offers the wearer chronograph, calendar, and moonphase functionality. While brands such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin may take the prize for the most expensive calendar chronographs, the mid-century offerings from Universal are absolutely mouth-watering.
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 piece, a Reference 12295, dates to circa 1950 and features a 38mm case finished in rose gold with a satin silver dial with radial brushed sub registers and a matching 'dauphine' handset, a signed crown, and UG's Calibre 481 hand-cranking chronograph movement with moonphase within.
This early 'jumbo' example remains in fantastic condition overall and represents nearly everything that we love about old UG. Fantastic build quality executed in a functional package with looks to die for.
When you strap it on your wrist you’ll quickly see why collectors are always on the hunt for exceptional Tri-Compaxes such as this one.
We are massive fans and are delighted to offer this one here.
