Universal Genève Tri-Compax Ref.881101/01, 1960s

— A small universe —

The 1960s, when watchmaking was at its most enthusiastic. Universal Genève's Tri-Compax went beyond the idea of an instrument and became a small universe on the wrist.

The energy of a chronograph, the sentiment of a waxing and waning moon, and a triple calendar marking the turning seasons — all of it held in improbable balance.

— Known as the "Eric Clapton" —

Loved among collectors as the Eric Clapton model, the design centres on a white panda dial, with a strong black tachymeter bezel sharpening its sporting character.

The dial has taken on the soft texture particular to vintage, and it speaks with some depth.

— Calibre 281 —

Inside is calibre 281, one of the movements that define Universal Genève. Its complex construction, assembled by experienced hands, is the pride of Swiss watchmaking at its height.
