UNIVERSAL GENÈVE – SOLID 18-CARAT GOLD – 33MM – HAND-WOUND SLIM VINTAGE WATCH– SERVICED – £1,250

An elegant vintage Universal Genève 18K solid 18-carat yellow gold, combining understated Swiss watchmaking with classic dress-watch proportions. Recently serviced and supplied with our 24-month timing warranty, this is a particularly appealing opportunity at £1,250.

For those who appreciate fine vintage watches, Universal Genève is a name that needs little introduction. This example captures the appeal beautifully: a slim gold case, an uncluttered dial and a traditional mechanical movement.

✨ SOLID 18-CARAT GOLD

The case is crafted from solid 18-carat yellow gold, with the 18K / 0.750 markings visible inside the case back. Its warm colour complements the silver-tone dial and gold-tone detailing beautifully.

At £1,250, we believe this watch offers excellent value, combining a precious-metal case with a respected Swiss name, a recent service and two years of timing cover.

⌚ CLASSIC, UNDERSTATED DESIGN

The silver-tone dial features a subtle brushed finish, applied gold-tone baton markers and Roman numerals at the quarters. Slender hands and a simple two-hand display keep the appearance clean and refined.

There is no date window or seconds hand to interrupt the design—just an elegant, easy-to-read display with enduring appeal.

📏 TRADITIONAL VINTAGE PROPORTIONS

Measuring approximately 33mm excluding the crown, this is a discreet watch with proportions typical of a traditional vintage dress piece. Its slim profile sits neatly beneath a shirt cuff, making it an excellent companion for formal occasions or smarter everyday wear.

Photographed on a 17.5cm wrist, it is particularly well suited to small and medium wrists, or anyone who enjoys a more understated size.

⚙️ SERVICED HAND-WOUND MOVEMENT

Inside is the Universal Genève calibre 820 mechanical hand-wound movement. Recently serviced, it offers the traditional pleasure of winding your watch by hand, with no battery required.

Super slim watch at under 5mm, its amazing how they fitted the movement in this one.

A new black leather strap completes the look, providing a smart contrast against the yellow-gold case.
