Vintage Universal Genève Dress Watch, Quartz, Extra Slim Gold-plated Case from 1980's
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.
