Manufactured in the early 1950s, this fine Universal Genève features the early bumper automatic Cal. 138, housed in a stainless steel square case and complemented by a rare black gilt dial.
While Universal Genève is best known for its chronographs, this model is powered by the relatively uncommon early bumper automatic Cal. 138. Despite its compact 30mm case width, the substantial square design gives the watch a distinctive sense of presence, while the black gilt dial is enhanced by finely engraved indices.
More than just a rare vintage timepiece, this exceptional example showcases the outstanding quality, refined design, and technical sophistication for which the prestigious Universal Genève manufacture is renowned.
