Universal Genève - Tri-Compax Chronograph Vintage Circa 1996 Full Set Ref. 884.480

Here is this Universal Genève Tri-Compax Chronograph, reference 884.480, dating from around 1996. A manual-winding chronograph featuring design elements inspired by the historic chronographs of the Geneva-based manufacture, with a classic three-register layout and a combination of silver and gold-toned finishes.

Its 37 mm stainless steel case features rounded lines and slightly curved lugs, complemented by two chronograph pushers and its original Universal Genève-signed crown. The silver-toned dial features a beautiful sunburst finish, while the three subdials display circular guilloché detailing. The applied baton hour markers, dauphine hands and Universal Genève logo at 12 o'clock all feature gold-toned finishes. A slender blued central hand is dedicated to the chronograph function.

The watch is powered by the manual-winding Universal Genève calibre 84, featuring 17 jewels, operating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and offering a power reserve of approximately 40 hours.

This example is in very well-preserved condition. The caseback engravings remain particularly well preserved, with the Universal Genève inscriptions, reference number and serial number still clearly visible.

It comes fitted with its original black leather strap and original Universal Genève-signed stainless steel pin buckle.

The watch is offered as a Full Set, accompanied by its original presentation box, outer box and original papers, including its warranty card showing the original sale date of December 1996.

The movement will be regulated as closely as possible to ensure good accuracy and reliable timekeeping.

The watch comes with our 6-month warranty.
