Universal Genève SA is a Swiss luxury watch company, founded in 1894 as "Universal Watch". Since its beginnings, the company has produced complete watches with in-house movements, and throughout the 20th century, distributed many notable and important timepieces. Along with neighboring Geneva companies Audemars Piguet, Girard-Perregaux, Patek Philippe and Rolex, Universal is internationally regarded for its style of craftsmanship and manufacture. In addition, the brand also makes historical claim for creating the first-ever chronographic wristwatch in 1917.This Universal Geneve Compax, affectionately known as the Nina Jr (or the more affordable version of the Nina) was made in the 1980s and has a beautiful panda dial, with gold accents. The dial and hands are original and untouched. The watch comes in at 36mm, and is often mistaken for a Daytona. In fact, the papers on these watches often referred to the watch as the "UG Daytona". The chronograph runs fine and resets perfectly to zero. The movement is a Lemania and is clean. Feel free to message me with offers or questions. Happy to do a F2F in the NYC area.
