Universal Geneve Alteza | Wooden Dial

Universal Genève Alteza | Rare Wooden Dial | Ultra-Thin Hand-Wound | 1960s

The Universal Genève Alteza is a rare and elegant vintage watch from the 1960s, featuring a unique wooden dial that sets it apart from other timepieces of its era. This ultra-thin watch is powered by the Universal Genève Calibre 42 hand-wound movement, which has been recently serviced and is running and keeping time accurately.

The brushed stainless steel case measures 35mm in length and 28mm in width, with a remarkably slim profile of just 7.6mm thick, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate understated sophistication. Whether you’re a vintage watch collector or a fan of unique designs, this Alteza is a standout addition to any collection.
