Ironically, it was quartz that ultimately led to the brand’s downfall after an illustrious 100-year history. Quartz UGs are therefore as significant as earlier mechanical counterparts as time capsules of an upper echelon Swiss brand struggling to find its way. Perhaps even more so due to their relative rarity from a short production period. UG’s unwavering attention to high-end finishing remained clear with the unique hand-crafted beaded bezel on this exquisite piece. Followers will know our undying love for UG, now on the verge of resurgence under Breitling. Beyond hyped models like Polerouters\/Tri-Compax are dressy treasures like this, waiting to be discovered at amazing value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONDITION:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e8.5\/10 with little to no visible signs of use, except for two scratches on the crystal at 10:30 and 4:30.
