Universal Genève "Tri-Compax", Ref. 881101, Cal. 281, 36 mm, circa 1968
A gentleman's extremely rare and very attractive Geneva wristwatch with chronograph, 30 min. and 12h counter, full calendar, moon phase and tachy bezel - with original box
Case: steel, screw back. Dial: silvered, black subsidiary dials. Movm.: 2/3 plate movement, Glucydur screw balance.
There is no doubt that the Tri-Compax is the most iconic watch the company Universal Genève ever produced; the model was first introduced in 1944.
The case is similar in looks to the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 6241 - with its black tachy bezel as well as the round chronograph pushers that are not screwed. Even the silvered dial with the black auxiliary dials resembles that of the Cosmograph Daytona.
This timepiece is in outstanding overall condition and certainly an extremely rare treasure that would satisfy even the most critical collector.
