Notes

Recently found by the descendants of a Swiss watchmaker that used to work at Universal, these 3 cases are stamped 852.105/03. The regular Unisonic Sub has the reference 852.103, 852.104 but couldn’t find any with these reference 852.105/03. One can assume that these were cases meant for a new model that was probably never commercialised.
