Universal Genève Tri-Compax | 222100 | steel
Ref. 222100
The unrestored silver metallic linen face has a vertical brushing, creating a nice texture and depth to the dial, and contrasting with the concentric patterned recessed sub-dials. All hands are original, including the distinctive red subdial hand at twelve o’clock, that denotes the date. It has a blue tachymeter on the outer track of the dial, taking up a large space, and giving the otherwise busy dial some much-needed balance. It is understandable why Tri-Compaxes are so loved; the sub-dials have fantastic proportionality, plus there is the vintage charm of the aesthetic.
Powered by the in-house Cal. 281, it features a triple calendar, chronograph and moonphase. The name ‘Tri-Compax’ stems from this, denoting that the watch has three complications. These complications can be set through the small pushers, found on the left side of the case.
This watch comes with a blue lizard strap and a stainless steel tang buckle.
Viewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.
