The first examples featured cases with snap-on while a decade later models with waterproof cases were produced. The Aero-Compax here offered is a quintessential chronograph from Universal Genève: with its balanced dial and well-proportioned case, this watch has maintained its timelessness flawlessly. With a perfect balance of elegance and sporty look, this stainless steel case has been preserved in nice conditions. The most prestigious feature of this watch is without any doubt the silvered dial with 4 counters, blue tachymeter scale and large luminous Arabic numbers and hands that spread beauty at every glance.
