UNIVERSAL GENEVE UNI
COMPAX „Big Eye“ – Ref.
884100/02
The Reference 884100/02 sported the classic 'panda' configuration.
Introduced in 1963 and only manufactured for two years, a small number
"Big Eyes" have surfaced in the commercial market in recent years. It
has been produced in strictly limited quantity (about 100) between 1963
and 1965.
With its 37mm stainless steel case, Valjoux 23-based Universal Genève
movement, and dial in the always-attractive "panda" configuration, the
"Big Eye" has the makings of a classic mid-century chronograph. Its most
distinctive feature is of course the oversized minutes counter at 3
o'clock, the genesis of the nickname "Big Eye." The subtle accents of
red in the registers and an internal tachymeter bezel--reminiscent of
the
Heuer Carrera--make the "Big Eye" as handsome as it is rare.
Condition:
Recently serviced ( December 2018, comes with a service proof), case has
got a slightly polish, fat case!
Dial and blued hands in very good condition, original lume,
movement in excellent
condition!
