Up for sale is my late 1940’s Universal Geneve bumper automatic. To my knowledge, this watch is all original, never polished and is in great condition. The serial number dates the watch to 1946-1949 and it is powered by the UG 139 movement. In preparation for sale, the watch has undergone a full service by The German Watchmaker in Vancouver and is running well. Originally purchased from friend (and CWC and OF forum member) in May, 2018.

The unique dial plays differently in different light with the numerals appearing umber in dim light and like shiny gold foil in bright light. Case is snap back with long, tapered lugs. The extended lugs and broad dial make it wear like a 36+mm watch.

Functions: Hours, Minutes, Seconds
Dial: Great condition with some patina and minor signs of wear at 3 and 9 o'clock and near the centre. Gold coloured numerals matching the gold coloured leaf hands.
Case: Great condition. Stainless steel. Sharp lugs.
Crystal: Acrylic
Dimensions: Diameter 35mm, Height 10mm, Lug-to-Lug 45mm
Lug width: 18mm
Water Resistance: Unknown.
Strap: after market 17mm genuine lizard (open to selling without strap)
Calibre: Universal Geneve 139, approx 36 hour power reserve
