Universal Geneve Compax Chronograph 1950

This Compax comes from the heyday of Universal Geneve and dates back to 1950. It is an ode to what makes an awesome chronograph, with both functionality and legibility. This model was first introduced in 1935 and was produced in multiple case and dial configurations. This example is fitted in a perfectly sized, well-preserved 37 mm 18k rose gold case.

A classical dial layout is neatly presented with three registers displaying all you need. The cream colored dial with its evenly aging just looks gorgeous.
