The watch features small seconds at 6 o'clock and a robust steel case, marked with the period trade name ENVERSTEEL. Its looped, hooded lug design offers a sculptural aesthetic that distinguishes it from the typical straight-lug dress cases of the time. The caliber 262 movement is a well-regarded, manual-wind design with 17 jewels, respected for its use in 1940s and early 1950s dress watches. Note that the dial has been professionally restored by a dial specialist using period-correct techniques, presenting a vintage look with Arabic numerals, a railroad minute track, and blued hands. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand and Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal Genève Geneve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 212140\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel, marked ENVERSTEEL inside caseback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33 mm without crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug-to-Lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professionally restored by a dial specialist using period-correct techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic (period-correct)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Period correct, unsigned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap or Bracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calf leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Caliber:\u003c\/strong\u003e 262\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJewels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual wind, sub-seconds, approx 18,000 vph,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Serial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1186••••\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated Production:\u003c\/strong\u003e circa 1945\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Splash Water Resistant (handwashing ok, not showering)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📦 What’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox\/Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e Secure black travel watch case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Invoice and our service certificate worth €369 — included free of charge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🚚 Shipping, Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsured worldwide shipping. 14-day inspection (unused, seals intact).
