Catalogue note
Universal Genève’s Caliber 1-42 is presented as a beautifully proportioned mid-1970s dress piece with understated presence and collector-ready appeal. The warm gold-plated case frames an exceptional brown linen-textured dial, alive with depth and character under light.
The dial is finished with applied baton indices and crisp white baton hands, creating a striking contrast that remains both elegant and highly legible. Swiss branding and typography complete the look with a distinctly classic Swiss sensibility.
Powered by the manual-winding Caliber 1-42 (17 jewels), the movement is described as clean and performing strongly following a recent service. Set beneath a domed acrylic crystal, the overall presentation balances tasteful wear with excellent preservation of the dial and visual accents.
Fitted to a period-correct dark brown leather strap with crocodile-grain texture and contrasting stitching, this watch offers a refined, discreet style ideal for formal wardrobes while remaining thoroughly in keeping with Universal Genève’s design legacy.
