This charming and well-preserved Universal Genève from the mid-20th century captures everything collectors appreciate about vintage military-style watches: no-nonsense design, graceful aging, and a solid Swiss manual-wind movement.

The watch features a stainless steel case with long straight lugs, housing a creamy dial that has developed an even, warm patina over time. Bold radium-lumed Arabic numerals and distinctive cathedral hands give the piece a strong utilitarian presence—reminiscent of 1940s military-issue field watches. Watch is completely original and authentic.
