WHY WE CURATED IT:
What’s better than interestingly shaped lugs? Lugs hinged to conform to your wrist, and reversible for two different looks! This one really elevates design to a whole new level. Uniquely elegant on the wrist with a touch of the avant garde, and super comfortable at that. Sorry if we’re dwelling too much on lugs, but the rest of the watch is lovely as well with a rounded square case, exquisite champagne dial and classic mechanical movement. 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:
7.5/10 with visible signs of use. With some nice rainbow patina and a sprinkling of thinned plating on some small areas but not immediately noticeable on the wrist in real life. Quite the find for vintage lovers who prefer honest, wabi-sabi condition over artificially re-plated shine. Original signed crown. Dial, markers and hands are clean. Crystal has a faint scratch at the 4:30 edge that’s barely noticeable. Aftermarket handmade strap and buckle are almost new. Movement in great condition with strong power reserve and amplitude, low beat error and accurate to ±15 secs/day averaged from 5 timegrapher positions.
