Another vintage Chronograph I could carry an autopsy on, with a few pictures. Nice case, superb dial, great movement. These Chrono Calendars are a classic in a collection. Snap back case, showing the ref number ( 22 279 ) and the serial number dating it circa 1945. The case is circa 36 / 37 mm big.

Without forgetting the movement....

 

Stay tuned, I saw another one which is even nicer!

changes/development in the collectors market. The last two years in germany (and i think also generelly in europe) these watches are much more searched from collectors as in the years before. There is a collector szene, that is perhabs (in my opinion) a little bid "tired" with there usuall desirousness (Heuer ...) and now they found another playing fiel. These watches from UG really offering all for collectors affinity and this new more appriciate postion Universal Geneve take rightly - speciall
