A handsome and understated Universal Genève Swiss-made 17-jewel manual-wind wristwatch, likely from the 1940s–1950s. This early Universal Watch Co. piece features a minimalist Arabic-numeral dial with blued hands, clean no-date layout, and a stainless-steel case. The reliable in-house Swiss movement is marked Universal Watch Co. Swiss, demonstrating the brand’s precision craftsmanship long before its later Polerouter fame.
An excellent vintage mechanical piece for any watch enthusiast or Universal Genève collector.
