Universal Geneve are one of the hottest vintage brands currently, and this gold filled ladies watch will only add to that. Model reference 2560.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
We only have serial numbers for Universal Geneve up to 1969, but we do know the movement used in this watch was first introduced in 1975. The watch can not be older than that, but may be a little newer.
CONDITION
Universal Geneve are seeing a real uplift in interest, and this is due to the imminent relaunch of the brand with new models. Breitling took them over a few years ago and have recruited some of the best watch brains to be brand ambassadors – real watch geeks that understand the proud history of Universal Geneve. This ladies elliptical watch has a manual wind in house calibre 1-42 movement. This 17 jewel movement is nicely finished and has shock protection on the balance. The case is in good order, and the 14k gold filled case means wear is hard to see – gold filled cases are far thicker than gold plated cases, hence even the case back can be covered without showing wear. The dial is good, as are the hands, but the glass does have a few scratches. The expanding bracelet is quite long and our sister website, SpareLinks.com, may have extra links if required. The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath, and could be swapped for a leather strap if preferred. The watch is signed on the dial, case, movement and crown.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
