Housed within is the manual winding Universal Geneve caliber 281, a manufacture-grade movement known for its quality. The chronograph functions activate and halt as expected. Having undergone a comprehensive service—timed, oiled, and regulated—the watch comes with our 6-month guarantee.
Its original 14kt solid gold waterproof style case with screw-in back and round pushers, remains in a very good condition, showing minimal signs of wear. It measures 33.5mm in diameter, excluding the original crown.
A notable caseback engraving commemorates William E. John’s victory at the 43rd NYAC (New York Athletic Club) 1956 Block Island regatta, adding unique historical value.
The silvered dial, displaying a consistent time patina and a few very slight oxidations, is well-preserved overall.
Available upon request are detailed photographs.
