A MODEL CREATED BY GENIUS Mr. GÉRALD GENTA – BY THE WAY, THIS WAS HIS FIRST GREAT, FAMOUS, AND UNFORGETTABLE WORK, WHEN HE WAS ONLY 23 YEARS OLD ... AND MANUFACTURED BY ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED WATCH MANUFACTURERS IN HIS TIME .. UNIVERSAL

CASE - STAINLESS STEEL IN GOOD CONDITIONS FOR A VINTAGE, IT MEASURES 34 MM WITHOUT COUNTING THE STAINLESS (NOT SIGNED) CROWN X 43 MM COUNTING FROM THE TIP OF ONE LUG TO THE OTHER. THERE ARE SOME TYPE OF RUST JUST INSIDE THE BORDER OF THE CASE, EXTERNALLY NOT. PLEASE OBSERVE.

IT USES 18 MM STRAPS AND I INSTALLAED A NICE GENUINE LEATHER, STITCHED BLACK STRAP .

MOVEMENT – “In the early fifties Universal Genève masterminded, parallel to the Buren Watch Company, a radically new automatic winding system: the Microtor with its incorporated rotor mass. The Patent for the technical design was applied on 27th May 1955 and, after some legal troubble, registered on 15th May 1958 under the No. 329805. Therefore, the movements of the first production years are signed"Patented Rights Pending"underneath the rotor. The first movement introduced in spring 1955 was the cal. 215. The rotor is winding the mainspring in both directions, enabling more energy to be stored. The main characteristics are: 28.0 mm diameter, 4.1 mm height, 18,000 vibrations per hour, 28 jewels. The 2-arm monometallic balance is protected by an Incabloc antishock system. The self-compensating flat Nivarox hairspring is blue coloured. The escape wheel is fitted with a Gyrocap shock-protection. The regulator is very short and arrow-shaped; since 1958 a long shaped regulator was used. The power reserve of 60 hours is exptional high. The rotor is pink gold-plated with a"Colimaconnage"finish, the movement rhodiumed with a fine"Fausses cotes de Genève"decoration.

- CALIBER UNIVERSAL 215 AUTOMATIC MECHANICAL MOVEMENT (MICROTOR) , WITH 28 JEWELS, THE MOVEMENT IS IN GOOD CONDITIONS, THERE ARE SOME AGE MARKS AROUND, IT IS VERY OLD – THE FIRST ONE, AND IT WAS SERVICED IN OCTOBER BY MY CONFIDENT WATCHMAKER (FULLY DISMANTLED, CLEANED, OILED AND ADJUSTED) . RUNS WELL AND KEEPS TIME .

DIAL – ORIGINAL, LIGHT SILVER COLOR, CROSS-HAIR MAKES IT VERY CLASSY, RAISED UNIVERSAL LOGO, THE INTERNAL SILVER BEZEL IS A BEAUTIFULL ADITION TO THIS MODEL TOO, AT THE DIAL YOU WILL SEE THE PATINA FROM THE AGE AND POINTS OF DISCOLORATION, I DIDN´T WANT TO RE-PAINT BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINALITY.

HANDS- ORIGINAL AND IN THE SAME CONDITIONS AS THE DIAL, AGED.

ACRILIC OR PLEXI GLASS VERY GOOD .

CASEBACK – ORIGINAL STAINLESS STEEL SCREWED CASEBACK, INTERNALLY WRITTEN (ACIER INOXIDABLE SWISS HF), PROBABLY (IF THERE WAS) THE EXTERNAL SIGN OF POLEROUTER WAS POLISHED OR FADE, BUT I CAN´T TELL BECAUSE IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE THIS WHEN I BOUGHT A FEW YEARS AGO. 

PLEASE OBSERVE WELL THE IMAGES, IT IS A VERY OLD RARE UNIVERSAL, AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS WILL BE MY PLEASURE TO ANSWER .

ANY DEFECTS NOT MENTIONED BUT VISIBLE IN THE
