The Universal Geneve Tri-Compax is a sought-after reference by collectors. “Tri-Compax” refers to three complications: Chronograph, triple date, and moonphase indications. Universal Geneve was the first watch manufacturer to develop a chronograph with two pushers; the movement of the Tri-Compax being developed entirely in-house. The present example is stunning with a beautifully preserved dial and case. A treasure for the discerning collector.
