Universal Genève has long held a revered place in the pantheon of vintage chronograph manufacturers. Among its celebrated creations, the Compur 30 stands out—not only for its horological refinement but for its rare combination of a large gold case, elegant design, and early chronograph engineering.
This specific piece, encased in 18K yellow gold, is notable for its oversized dimensions—a rarity in a time when 33–35mm cases were the norm. At around 37–38mm, this Compur 30 wears elegantly by today’s standards, striking a perfect balance between vintage charm and modern wrist presence.
