A incredible and beautiful timepiece, the Universal Genève White Shadow 866101 deserves all the hype it gets. From its elegant form to its innovative movement, this watch is peak vintage watchmaking artistry and certainly on every collector's list.
Besides being a true sight to behold, another reason why the Universal Genève White Shadow is so popular is because it was designed by famed watch designer Gérald Genta. The watch features a refined cushion-shape case that sits on the wrist with a presence. Even though the dial size is just 35mm, it wears larger on the wrist due to the longer lugs.
The dial is white and minimalist, sporting Roman numbers for hour markers and stick watch hands. The words 'Universal Genève' is printed at the 12 o'clock mark, a symbol of the heritage watch brand. In true Gérald Genta fashion, this timepiece really strikes a chord between functionality and design. It is simple, yet striking!
Beyond an aesthetic, the Universal Genève White Shadow 866101 houses the Cal. 2-67 Microtor movement. Known for being just 9.5mm thin, this reliable movement was an engineering marvel at the time this watch was introduced. It allows the watch to have a slim case, slipping under the cuff easily.
This particular piece comes with the original bracelet in great vintage condition, which isn't easy to find. The clasp is adorned with the Universal Genève logo, a little reminder of the history and heritage of Swiss watchmaking whenever you wear this watch.
Such a rare and unique piece is fleeting, but the timelessness and classiness of this watch will endure forever. Your collection certainly deserves a watch like this.
