Universal Geneve Compax Cal.285
Brand: Universal Geneve
Case: 36mm all stainless steel (not including crown)
Movement: Universal Geneve Cal. 285 manual wind, Currently out being serviced
Bracelet/Strap: Analogshift Highland double stitch (MSRP $145)
Features: Steel blued sword hands with evenly patina'd lume, 12 hour counting chronograph with 30 minute counter, telemetry scale, square pushers, mid 1940's, un-polished case with sharp edges and brushed lugs
Other: There is no denying that vintage Universal is hot at the moment. Especially the compax chronographs from the 1940's and 1950's. Ask any vintage collector, dealer, or flat out watch nerd, Universal Geneva along with the likes of Omega and Longines are the best valued brands out there. This Compax features the in house Universal cal. 285 column wheel movement. At 36mm and a hairline bezel width this guy wears much larger. The three register dial is in great condition with only a few blemishes on the chronograph hour and left second registers. The outside telemeter scale is in great sharp condition. To top it off are those incredible blue'd steel sword hands with matching and in tact patina. Just does not get any better for that price point.
