Universal Geneve Compax Oversize Pilot watch 1940′s

This is one of the rarest Universal Geneve’s made, it’s a 1940 military Pilot watch which measures a whopping 46mm. It’s a stunning and elegant watch on the wrist, large but very wearable due to the thin case. Not all of these were military but this one has original fixed lugs which indicates it’s military/airforce heritage. Above all, the original dial is the most beautiful I’ve seen on this model (due to the large case, the dials on these models are usually quite aged). The Cal 285 Universal movement has just been serviced and is in perfect working condition. Attached is a 24mm NATO strap. Awesome piece of history!
