Concept:

This is the first Swiss brand we take into Samurai Vintage and this is a rather special one, we have chosen Universal Geneve.

For the past 2,3 decades, Universal Geneve has been an under the radar watch brand, this is a brand where only watch enthusiast look deep enough to see its real intrinsic value.

However, things have changed over the past few years, Universal Geneve has become a darling of the watch collecting community, some of the models from Universal Geneve have become the most sort after vintage watches to collectors. Watches such as Compax and Tri-Compax models have followed the great rising trend of the vintage sports chronograph like the Daytona and Heuer Autavia.

But when you look deeper into the brand, you will find some under the radar dress watches made by Universal Geneve. And these dress watches are designed by the most iconic watch designer in the model watch history - Mr Gérald Genta. Mr Gérald Genta designed some of the most iconic watches in the era including AP Royal Oak, Patek Philippe Nautilus, IWC Ingenieur etc.... Before designing all these magnificent watches, Mr Genta spent the early time of his career designing watches in Universal Geneve and have designed iconic watches for Universal Geneve including the White Shadow we listed today. We can already see the design trace of Mr Genta's artistic touch on the watch.

Thanks to the record-breaking slim automatic movement on the White Shadow, the overall thickness of the watch is mind-bending when you get hold of it. The White Shadow is an extremely thin watch measures at 9.5mm, it is achievable by its Caliber 1-66 movement which at its time is the thinnest automatic movement in the world. The calibre reduced the thickness by using a micro-rotor to wind up the watch. The movement itself is just elegant! It is a great example for collectors because micro-rotor is only available in the most top-notch modern Swiss watches today.

While is thin, the cushion shaped case is wide enough for the White Shadow to feel substantial on your wrist and is defiantly a perfect dress watch. Universal Geneve produced the White Shadow in many different dial combinations, the example we sourced today is with a clean white dial and a black Universal Geneve logo. The dial is paired with clean thin hands which help to express the minimalist design language of the watch.

In recent years, we have been seeing Universal Geneve Polerouter doubling or even tripling in its market value, the White Shadow is definitely an undervalued watch that looks to take the rising trend very soon! If you are looking for a Gérald Genta watch or just looking for a micro-rotor watch to add to your collection, this is it! And this is as good as it can get!
