This invention paved the way for future advancements in chronograph technology. During World War II, Universal Genève gained popularity among military personnel due to their reliable timepieces. Their watches were favored by pilots and soldiers alike for their accuracy and durability in extreme conditions. This further solidified Universal Genève's reputation as a trusted brand.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the 1950s and 1960s, Universal Genève expanded its collection with iconic models such as the Polerouter and Tri-Compax.

The Tri-Compax featured a highly complicated movement with multiple sub-dials for measuring different time intervals.

The hands and Arabic numerals still boast their original lume which has also aged to compliment the rich tropical chocolate dial. You will simply never find another watch like this as the way watches age is completely individual and dependent on outside factors such as climate. The dial is encapsulated underneath shatterproof Plexiglas and encased in a Dennison stainless steel case. The case is mid-sized at 33mm but due to its slimline bezel, it wears larger on the wrist.

The watch is mid-sized at 35mm in modern-day terms, however when it was produced it would more than certainly have been considered oversized or even jumbo, the Calatrava style makes it appear much larger on the wrist. The ivory dial is fine shape with no notable marks or blemishes and the applied gold furniture along with slender gold pencil hands and applied Longines emblem complete the picture.
