During the 1980s, Universal Genève embraced the quartz revolution with the same design refinement it was known for during its golden age. This elegant dress watch features a 33mm 18k yellow gold-plated case and is powered by the ultra-slim Calibre 2.42 quartz movement, offering excellent accuracy in a thin, refined package.

The minimalist dial reflects Universal Genève’s design philosophy of clean lines and timeless proportions. It features slim gold baton indices and matching hands on a matte gold-tone surface, signed “Swiss Made” at 6 o’clock. The case is particularly striking, with a decorative coin-edge bezel that adds texture and vintage character to an otherwise restrained aesthetic.
