Universal Genève, founded in 1894, earned a reputation in the 1950s for its slim, elegantly cased automatics and reliable in-house movements. This period saw the brand focus on refined dress watches, often in gold-filled cases, with minimalist dials and practical proportions. Models equipped with the Caliber 139 bumper movement highlight Universal Genève’s emphasis on quality Swiss engineering and understated mid-century design.

Notes
This Universal Genève features a 33mm 10K gold filled case that sits in overall fair condition. Its white, somewhat textured dial is in beautiful condition, with applied hour markers, dauphine hands with light wear upon close inspection, a blue anodized seconds hand, and a crisp and legible brand notation. This piece is powered by a Universal Genève 139 bumper automatic movement. While this movement was in production in the 40's and 50's, we estimate the year of this watch to be in the 60's largely due to its serial number and style of logo on the dial which UG changes through the years. We'd also like to note that piece does not have a UG stamped crown. This piece is fitted with an aftermarket black leather strap and gold buckle. Overall, this Universal Genève sits in good vintage condition, showing wear consistent with its age.
