A beautiful example of what makes vintage Universal Geneve watches so desirable, their truly unique sense of style and design. I simple love the Art Deco stylized dial on this watch, minimalist in nature but perfectly balanced with fancy high Art Deco mirrored numbers at 12,3,6 and 9 and an inner 1/5th seconds track accented by the blue steel centre seconds hand. The case has a sharp polished bezel in contrast to the smooth sculpted brushed finish of the body and flowing long lugs. It is this attention to the details of the design that a true appreciation develops for UG and their history of innovation and craftsmanship. What a beauty!
