Vintage 1970 Universal Geneve Ref: 842111 Serviced Hand Wound
This elegant Universal Genève Ref. 842111 from 1970 showcases the refined design language the brand was celebrated for during the era. Powered by a reliable hand-wound movement, it offers the charm and precision of vintage Swiss watchmaking.
The highlight of this piece is its deep blue starburst dial, which radiates beautifully in different lighting conditions. The clean two hand dial layout is complemented by applied indices and original white printed UG logo, all well preserved that enhances its vintage 70's character.
The stainless steel case shows gentle wear consistent with age, while retaining its original form and finish. On the wrist, the watch is elevated by its original Universal Genève signed mesh bracelet, a rare and desirable feature that completes its period correct look.
Mechanically, the movement has been fully serviced and is running smoothly, keeping excellent time.
Owning a Vintage Watch
Important Note on Water Resistance: At TEMPO PRIMA, we do not recommend exposing vintage watches to water, regardless of their original ratings. We do not pressure-test vintage timepieces and therefore cannot guarantee water resistance. For longevity and preservation, we advise keeping the watch completely dry.
Mechanical watches of this era do not match the precision of modern quartz movements and will require periodic servicing over time. Natural patina and minor wear are part of what makes a vintage watch unique. With proper care, this 1970 Universal Geneve will continue to be a timeless and rewarding companion for years to come.
