This Universal Genève Compax Ref. 124104 in pink gold, was made for the Brazilian Armed Forces, as states the EB engraving on the back (Esercito Brasileiro) and is a rare and striking piece that mixes military purpose with elegant mid-century design. The 37mm pink gold case gives it a warm, substantial presence, while the dial—packed with both tachymeter and telemeter scales—speaks to its original role as a functional tool for timing and distance measurement. The layout is classic Universal Genève: clean, well-balanced, and easy to read, with beautifully shaped hands and crisp printing. Inside sits one of UG’s renowned manually wound chronograph movements, known for their reliability and smooth operation. It’s a fantastic blend of utility and style, and the military provenance makes it an especially compelling piece for collectors who appreciate watches with real history behind them.

Universal Genève

Established in 1894 in Le Locle, Switzerland, Universal Genève quickly became a pioneer in the world of Swiss horology, particularly noted for its expertise in crafting chronographs. By the mid-20th century, the brand had gained a stellar reputation for producing some of the finest and most innovative wristwatches of the time. Universal Genève was a trailblazer in the development of micro-rotor movements, with models like the Polerouter, designed by Gerald Genta, becoming iconic for their technical precision and elegant design. The brand's Compax series, including Tri-Compax and Aero-Compax, revolutionized chronograph design and were beloved by professionals in aviation and motorsports.

Universal Genève's focus on creating both functional and aesthetically pleasing timepieces made it one of the premier Swiss watchmakers of the 20th century. Today, vintage Universal Genève models are highly coveted by collectors due to their historical significance, craftsmanship, and classic designs that remain timeless. Universal Genève’s enduring legacy in watchmaking innovation and elegance secures its place among the greats in horology.
