Indeed, its Tri-Compax models are still beloved by collectors for the wealth of information displayed on the dial; their handsome designs; and their utilitarian design remit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOf course, UG didn’t stop at complicated watchmaking — the Genta-penned Polerouter, a relatively simple time-only or time-and-date watch with an automatic movement — is now considered an icon of midcentury watch design.

Housed in a unique 36mm 18K yellow gold hexagonal case with softened edges and T-bar lugs, it features a smooth bezel, signed crown, and an acrylic crystal. Its non-luminous champagne dial offers applied indices, a day-date display at 3 o’clock, and a matching ‘pencil’ handset. Powering it is a notable engine, the Calibre 73 quartz movement — a collaboration between UG and Accutron that has been mostly forgotten by contemporary collectors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePaired to a black leather alligator strap with a gold tone pin buckle, this thin, handsome dress watch remains in stunning condition throughout and comes with its original signed presentation box.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e If you’re on the hunt for an accessibly priced, notable piece with loads of character and a unique design, you came to the right place!  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Geneve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40378250494039,"sku":"40991727","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS09130_40991681_HEUER_CAMARO_73443AS09221_40991727_UNIVERSALGENEVE_UNIQUARTZ18KDAY-DATE_173102-6.jpg?v=1702920635","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/universal-geneve-uniquartz-day-date-as09221","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
