While Universal Genève may be most famed for its Compax chronographs and the Polerouter, its svelte dress watches are equally compelling.

Throughout the latter half of the 20th century, UG designed simple, time-only watches alongside its more complicated brethren that played with shape, color, and design in interesting and novel ways.

Take this dressy timepiece, for example: Dating to circa the 1970s, it features a 33mm stainless steel case with an excellent integrated stainless steel 'mesh' bracelet, a signed crown, a glossy white dial with printed black 'Roman' indices and a matching black ‘stick’ handset, and Universal Genève's Caliber 1-42 hand-cranking movement within.

This is the perfect entryway into Universal Genève for the budding collector, or an excellent addition to an established collection for the person who appreciates superb quality and that very quintessential 1960s-1970s integrated dress watch style.

Sure to garner knowing nods of approval from the inner enthusiast circle, this is a killer option from one of our absolute favorite brands - full stop.
