Here is a Universal Genève Tri-Compax Chronograph Automatic, reference 104.42.980, dating from around the 1990s.
Its 39mm stainless steel case stands out with a bold oversized bezel featuring a “Clous de Paris” hobnail finish, giving the watch strong wrist presence and distinctive character. The white dial offers great visual depth, enhanced by three sunburst subdials dedicated to the chronograph function. A date window is positioned at 3 o’clock for everyday practicality. The hands and indexes retain their luminous material, ensuring good legibility.
It is powered by an automatic Universal Genève caliber UG 98, based on the Valjoux 7750, with 25 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 A/h, and approximately 46 hours of power reserve.
The watch comes on a new saffiano leather strap with a generic steel pin buckle and is covered by our 6-month warranty on the movement.
