This early-1940s Universal Genève presents the restrained, wartime aesthetic the brand produced in the period: a compact 32 mm stainless steel case with a six-notch screw-back and a silver-tone Arabic dial with blued hands. The watch is powered by Universal Genève’s manual-wind Cal. 267 (17 jewels, ~18,000 vph), a capable period movement that reflects the company’s technical focus in the era. With a period-correct crystal and original crown, the piece offers a disciplined, wearable expression of mid-century tool-watch design that will appeal to collectors seeking historical authenticity and everyday practicality.
