This is a very unique vintage Universal Geneve military WWII wristwatch, issue 20514 and dated from the 1940's.
It is a manual wind watch with a caliber Universal 267, 17 jewels movement, unadjusted, sweep second, Swiss made.
For military use, this still has the original silver dial with Arabic Numerals (no longer luminous), inner center minute track and luminous matching blued steel hands. The dial is also signed with the Universal Geneve name.
This watch comes with a vintage black two-piece leather strap with a buckle and push button deployant clasp.
This is a very great timepiece that is still keeping excellent time!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have. It will be carefully packed.
