Universal Genève, Ref 22410, Large Stainless Steel Chronograph, 1940

Universal Genève, Reference 22410, large stainless steel chronograph, 1940.

This is a rare and oversized UG chrono with an attractive and original black galvanic dial, turning tropical.

The spectacular dial is gilt printed and is of the multi-scale “snail” variety. These dials are expensive to make and the one on this watch is impeccable.

Beautiful and original syringe type hands.

Case: large 38 mm stainless steel, with inscription on the back.

Case is in excellent condition with case number clearly visible on the back.

Movement Caliber: UG cal. 285 mechanical, 17 jewels, 18,000 vph

Given the build quality and the dial, this is a staff favorite pick and lot of watch for the money.
