The COMPAX 

Black

This stainless steel edition highlights the striking charm of the "reverse panda" dial, where the brightly hued chronograph counters stand out against a deep black lacquered surface. The engraved ceramic tachometric bezel frames the display with a technical touch, while luminescent indexes and hands enhance legibility. A 5-row stainless steel bracelet with butterfly clasp, inspired by historic Gay Frères models, lends the watch a refined yet assertive character. It is interchangeable with an alligator leather Bund strap, paying homage to vintage versatility.

FUNCTIONAL BEAUTY

Designed to combine performance and elegance, the Compax Prêt-à-Porter combines the expressive design of a sports chronograph with the technical sophistication of Universal Genève's new UG-200 caliber. Featuring an integrated Microtor™, column-wheel chronograph and vertical clutch, this movement offers precise, fluid operation and a 72-hour power reserve, enough to last an entire weekend.

CULTURAL HERITAGE

The Compax continues one of Universal Genève's most famous chronograph traditions. Long associated with the style and personality embodied by figures such as Nina Rindt, this model has become a collector's favorite over the decades. In the Prêt-à-Porter editions, this heritage is reinterpreted with contemporary refinement, while retaining the assertive spirit that characterized the original Compax.

ANOBLISSEMENT

In the Compax Prêt-à-Porter editions, the chronograph's design is sublimated by meticulous details and finishes. Contrasting sub-dials, sculpted horns and engraved tachymetric bezels are highlighted by sunbrushed surfaces and polished accents, enhancing the chronograph's sporty character through craftsmanship and aesthetic precision.
