Universal Genève Owner Review : Fine, delicate and basic

Universal Genève is a legendary brand that has not made, dare we say, legendary watches. And yes, the polerouter is a passion of an enthusiast and not an icon. However, it is not necessary to create icons to become a renowned brand, Universal Geneva is one of them. This Universal Geneva has nothing emblematic, it is a watch with a tonneau case like so many others from the early 70s, late 60s, it was even originally available with different movements (micro-rotor or manual like this one). But do we need to be an icon? This watch will not have marked its time but its time has marked it and that is already enough. A two-hand, manual, a gold-plated case like there were thousands of in those years but nevertheless rare were those who did it as well.
