This is a description of a rare vintage watch manufactured in the late 1930s, featuring a Universal Caliber 281 movement and a wide step bezel. The watch has a black gilt-upgraded Roman dial, showcasing excellent design. It houses the small 28mm diameter Caliber 281 chronograph movement, which later became the base for the Tricompax series. The black dial, crafted using gilt techniques, features a tachymeter and telemeter, a rare combination of Roman and dot indexes in an upright configuration for that era. The wide step case, made of embossed steel material, measures a modest 33mm in size but has a 20mm strap width. With its superb design and excellent condition, this watch truly stands out and commands attention beyond its size.
