Up for discussion is this Compax, listed as a prototype Ref. 22410, cal 287. Described as "…one of three known to come for sale on the market in the past several years."
Is it shown in any of the UG reference books? Has anyone seen another?
An unique 1930 Universal Geneve watch – Shield On Dial Of Early UG Three Hander
New watch always excites me. This time it is a Universal Geneve gilt dial with steel case. It has the old UG logo printed.

I have no expertise to open the case back, so there isn’t any shot of the movement.
Anyway, here are the photos. I would be delighted if anyone has more to share about it.

UG Tri-compax Dial ” evolution, varience, service dial & redial referece guide ” READ ENTIRE THREAD

I woud like to call it original, but I have some doubt as well now ! It would look amazing on a steel Tri-compax !

Universal Geneve FS, the “other” railway watch
It’s not “for sale” and it doesn’t stand for “fuori serie” or “outside the series,” so often marked on limited edition cars to signify custom built. Italian government administrators enjoy ordering special editions of timepieces for their st…
