With its long stretched rectangular case and the most beautiful stylised lugs imaginable, this 1937 gentleman’s vintage Universal is the epitome of the art deco look that dominated Swiss watch production the late inter-war period. However, its appeal is far more than skin deep, and the quality of its case, dial and movement is first rate throughout. In the 1930s and ‘40s, Universal was regarded as every bit the equal of Rolex, Jaeger LeCoultre, Omega and the other top tier houses

It has age related wear and marks, please see photos, it winds on and ticks but has not been tested for its rate of accuracy

The signature “Universal Geneve” is stated above the centre point
