Universal Genève Vintage Military Style Watch – Rare Crab-Lug Case – Excellent

Offered here is a beautifully preserved vintage Universal Genève manual-wind wristwatch in excellent condition, showing only honest wear expected from a timepiece of this era. The watch is entirely original except for the strap and buckle, which have been replaced with high-quality aftermarket pieces for daily wear.

What sets this piece apart is its rare and distinctive angled “crab-leg” lugs, a far less common case style compared to the straight-lug designs typically found on UG’s military-style watches. This case shape gives it added visual character and vintage charm that serious collectors will appreciate.

The original dial and hands have aged gracefully, showing a beautiful, even patina. The movement is clean and all-original, running excellently with strong timekeeping and power reserve. Winding and setting operate smoothly.

A rare and stylish vintage piece from one of Switzerland’s most respected historical brands, ready to wear or collect.
