Universal Geneve Compax Chronograph Cal 130
Roll out the red carpet for this Universal Geneve Compax Ref # 22704-1. This example is stunning, with all it's original attributes and details to dial including lume plots. This over-sized 38mm stainless steel case is extremely rare, and even harder to find in this condition. The watch fully functions and keeps excellent time. It's an absolute pleasure to wear, and will be a part of my collection for a long time...
This watch is powered by the Valjoux 72 movement, marked UG Cal 130 and made in house in the 1960s.
The Valjoux 72 — arguably the finest manual-wind chronograph ever — ranked highly among historical movements, and reach extraordinary auction prices.
The famous and million dollar Rolex Daytona Paul Newman also used the Valjoux 72. Approx 750,000 movements are said to have been produced by various companies.
