General Overview
Introduced in 1934, the Universal Watch (then became Universal Genève) Compur was a pioneering two-pusher chronograph, featuring an innovative double column-wheel system that allowed for better control of stopwatch functions compared to single-pusher models. It was a key 1930s-1940s model that helped establish the brand as a top chronograph maker before the Compax line took over. The Compur is considered a "golden era" piece of the brand, reflecting high-quality, in-house technical development.
Description and Condition Report
Beautiful and quite rare Universal Watch early Compur vintage chronograph from mid 30s (1936 circa). This timepiece is very interesting and collectible expecially for its Sector Dial layout. The dial is embellished by a very warm patina. Blued leaf handset. The oversized steel case, which measures 38mm, seems unpolished. Hand wind Ug 287 caliber.
