{"product_id":"universal-geneve","title":"Universal Geneve","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis simple, small mid-1970s Universal Genève dress watch is a masterclass in the \"less is more\" philosophy that defined the brand’s elegant output during a turbulent era for Swiss watchmaking. At 31mm, the round stainless steel case is a refined, vintage vibe that looks really sophisticated on the wrist, making it an ideal choice for a formal dress watch or to someone who just wants vintage minimalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch features a crisp silvered dial with high-contrast applied baton hour markers. The inclusion of an outer minute track provides a touch of technical precision to an otherwise purely aesthetic face. Stripped of a seconds hand and date window, the \"hour and minute only\" layout emphasises the symmetry of this lovely watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference\u003c\/strong\u003e: Universal Geneve, 1-566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e:  c.1975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e:  Cal. 2-42 Manual wind.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eService History:\u003c\/strong\u003e  unknown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e:  Stainless steel with screw-in case back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements: \u003c\/strong\u003e 31mm (case diameter), 38mm lug-to-lug, 6mm thickness\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e  No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Acrylic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrown\u003c\/strong\u003e:  signed Universal Geneve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap\/Bracelet:   \u003c\/strong\u003eNearly new black leather strap\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLug Widt\u003c\/strong\u003eh:  17mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox \u0026amp; Papers\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 months\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eWatches modelled on a 7” (18cms) wrist\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(2, 227, 223);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThis watch is in fantastic condition and will suit a smaller wrist or someone who is tired of a large watch and likes a more petite look. The watch is very light and extremely thin - you hardly know its on the wrist. There are applied baton hour markers and an outer minute track, which is very subtle. There is a tiny bit of dial debris, though you really have to look for it, including very small degradation of the dial logo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(2, 227, 223);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eI don't know the service history, but it is keeping great time and the movement is in excellent cosmetic condition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Chronicle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53729452917073,"sku":"0044","price":750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/4148\/5649\/files\/0044UGhero.jpg?v=1778320322","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagechronicle.co.uk\/products\/universal-geneve","provider":"Vintage Chronicle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
