Description

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.

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 two-register Uni-Compax Reference 32416, 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 circa 1949, it features what would have been considered an 'oversize' 38mm case with a beautiful satin silver dial with radial brushed sub registers and an outer blue tachymeter scale, a matching 'kite' handset, and UG's Calibre 287 hand-cranking chronograph movement within.

This early 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 Compaxes such as this one.

We are massive fans and are delighted to offer this one here.
