We are thrilled to present an extraordinary Universal Genève dress watch from 1962, a piece that epitomizes the innovative spirit and timeless elegance of this revered Swiss brand. Featuring the uncommon Super Microrotor movement, this exceptional timepiece is a testament to Universal Genève's pioneering watchmaking heritage.
Revolutionary Movement and Design
At the heart of this watch lies the ultra-rare caliber 256 Super Microrotor movement, a technical marvel that was produced for only a brief period. Its unique design not only showcases advanced engineering but also adds an element of exclusivity, making it a highly coveted choice among collectors.
The watch boasts a stunning Roman numeral dial that exudes classical elegance, perfectly complementing the warmth of the 10K gold-filled case. Measuring 33.5mm, the unpolished case retains its sharp, defined lugs, further enhancing its vintage charm.
Historical Details
This timepiece carries an intriguing detail: an import mark inside the case dated September 15, 1962, likely indicating its journey to an Asian market, most probably Hong Kong. Such a detail adds a layer of historical significance and global appeal, emphasizing the universality of Universal Genève’s allure. The crown, signed with the brand's name, confirms its originality and authenticity.
