This Universal Genève wristwatch, ref. 20733, steel and gold, produced in 1945 is in an excellent condition and in good working order. During the 1940s, Universal Genève had already established its reputation as a forward-thinking manufacturer, known for its elegant time-only watches and the technical sophistication of its chronographs.
This ref. 20733 has a 32.5mm, measured excluding the crown, stainless steel case with a solid gold bezel. Its compact proportions are faithful to the size and proportions of the era, while the gold bezel introduces a subtle yet notable contrast. The case is in an excellent condition, with its original finishing. A clean, domed plexiglass crystal completes the watch.
The dial has been professionally restored and has a refined two-tone silvered layout with a central brushed sector and a dial contrasting peripheral track. Breguet-style numerals and central seconds complete. Blued Breguet hands and a matching central seconds hand offer period-correct aesthetic. At the heart of the watch is the Universal Genève Caliber 263, a hand-wound movement with central seconds. Introduced in the 1940, the 263 is a robust and reliable movement with a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of approximately 40 hours.
This timepiece is fitted with a new leather strap. It has been serviced in-house and is delivered in proper working order with a six-month guarantee and an originality certificate. Worldwide shipping is available, and we welcome inquiries to arrange a viewing or receive additional information.
