Vintage Universal Geneve 842114 tank, original strap/buckle, good condition
The case is in exceptional condition, with very few noticeable marks and clean transitions between the brushed and polished sections. The crystal is also very clean. The hands/markers are also clean, whilst the dial/underside of the crystal has gathered some dust over the years. It would benefit from a dial clean but it is perfectly wearable as it is. The original strap has a couple of small cracks (one near the tail and one on the keeper) but is otherwise very presentable and looks great on the wrist. It has a nice vintage taper from 19mm down to 14mm at the buckle. The hand wound movement is running well, within 1 min accuracy per day. One thing to note is the crown is quite small (it’s the original) and it can be a little fiddly to get a full wind into the watch. With a little application however it’s fine and the watch will run for 30 hours or so. The watch measures 30 x 36mm and is shown on my 17.5cm wrist. It is very slim, around 6mm and looks very svelte. Any questions just let me know.
