Universal Genève Chronographe ref. 22430 accompanied by an original VacheronUniversal Genve's chronograph output in the 1950s represents some of the finest two register work produced by any Swiss manufacture of the era and the Uni Compax is its most enduring expression. The name itself was Universal's commercial designation for its bicompax chronograph line, a family that ran through several decades and case configurations, always anchored by the same clear, functional dial philosophy.
