Made extra special by a deeply textured golden “wave” dial that’s absolutely stunning! Shift the light a little and it looks like a chequered dial. Serves perfectly as a dress watch but because of the larger horizontally-biased footprint, is well-suited as a daily driver as well. Followers will know our love for UG. Once a high-end brand, crushed by the quartz era, but on the verge of revival under Breitling. Beyond hyped models like Polerouters\/Tri-Compax are gorgeous, 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\u003e9\/10 with very small signs of honest use but little to no signs of polishing.
