For the Universal Genève Fans among us: Some pics of the Aero Compax.

 
 By: amanico : April 11th, 2014-23:21

The Aero Compax is really something, with its 4 subdials! You immediately see it is not an ordinary Chronograph.

Not for me, because my heart has recently been taken by another UG Chrono, but I know that this one has a lot of fans, so it is a pleasure to share, discover or rediscover it:

 


 


 

Enjoy!

Best,

Nicolas.

Vintage Chronos

Vintage Chronographs are always very 'graceful' for lack of a better word.

This Aero Compax is 37mm?

IMHO, Modern Chronographs tend to have too thick a movement, resulting in a very thick case or very large diameter.

Case in point: The Speedmaster Co-axial.

There are some superb vintage Chronos. I will post some from time to time.

Longines with the 13 ZN / 30 CH, Lemania / Tissot / Omega with the 33.3, Minerva, too, UG... We are in the Champions League of Chronography.

Thanks for looking, Merv C.

Very impressive chrono. Has a cal. 285, no? Is it a reputable movement?

Really looking forward to all the chrono pictures!

Yes, a Cal 285.

I didn't hear someone complaining about Cal 285 reliability.

I will show you, form time to time, some UG marvels, and most of all, my two favourites...

Hmmm!

Best, my friend.

It's really cute aero-compax! I love UG!!!
The caliber 285 is proportionate- beautiful-strong and very reliable.
Many manufactures used it as JLC and Zenith.

All the best
Juan

Yes, I am more and more thinking about finding one for me. ;) [nt]

Nico..Look this Smaller UG Chrono.

 
 By: shipkeeper : April 22nd, 2014-15:41
With caliber 386 -(D=31.70mm).
In this case the model is "Compax 30".

Well, I already have a small idea... But I have to harass its owner...

To be honest, I have two small ideas... smile

Best, Juan.
