Notes

The design of this watch recalls the famous chronograph series by Universal know variously as the " Compax", "Bi-Compax", and "Tri-Compax", according to their complication, which met with great success in the 1950's. The management of Universal has decided to offer the No. 1 of this limited series for sale by auction to allow all collectors and individuals an equal opportunity to become the owner.
