WHY WE CURATED IT: Here’s something you won’t see everyday. A horizontal rectangular “tissue box” UG case with Clous de Paris/hobnob finishing on the top surface. With a mesh bracelet and oval lacquered “lapis lazuli” style dial. Just what you need to stand out if you appreciate something uniquely jewellery-adjacent with full vintage feels. Movement is serviced and warrantied. Followers will know our love for UG. Once a high-end brand, crushed by the quartz era, but on the verge of revival under Breitling. Beyond hyped models like Polerouters/Tri-Compax are dressy treasures like this, waiting to be discovered at amazing value.
CONDITION: 8.5/10 with light hairlines mostly on the case sides. This time we would totally condone a polish should you so desire: the case shape is simple, so there are no complex bevels/edges at risk with a light polish on the sides. Or leave it for full vintage vibes! Original signed crown. The lacquered dial has some spidering, a clear sign of period-correctness and originality, whilst adding even more character to the watch. Hands, faceted markers and crystal are clean. Aftermarket mesh bracelet used but in good condition (appears to be white gold plated as indicated by the “14KGP” hallmark). Movement excellent with to-spec power reserve, strong amplitude, low beat error and accurate to ±30 secs/day averaged from 5 timegrapher positions.
