Discontinued Men's Model Founded in 1894, Universal Genève is a prestigious Swiss manufacturer renowned for creating numerous complex timepieces and highly practical chronographs. During the war years, it produced legendary watches meeting diverse needs for officers, aviation, and medical fields. Later, it developed a micro-rotor thin automatic movement, leaving an indelible mark on watchmaking history. This time, we introduce the rare vintage chronograph, the Space Compax Ref. 885104/02, with an estimated production run of approximately three years. Born in the 1960s, an era when "space" symbolized the cutting edge, this model stands out with its innovative design for the time.The red chronograph seconds hand, contrasting vividly against the black dial, ensures high legibility, making this a piece that combines practicality with individuality. The movement features the hand-wound Caliber 85, based on the renowned Valjoux Caliber 72 but modified with Universal Genève's unique adjustments. One of its charms is the opportunity to experience a movement sharing lineage with the Paul Newman Daytona models in everyday wear. The bracelet features a genuine Universal Genève bracelet made by the renowned Gay Frères company, which later became part of Rolex. With its powerful presence and functional beauty, this is a masterpiece exuding a presence absent in modern watches. We invite you to view it in our store.
