For sale is a striking and stylish 1970s Universal Genève Unisonic Ref. 851.100, featuring a vibrant sunburst blue dial and a high-precision Swiss tuning-fork movement. Positioned at the fascinating intersection of mechanical artistry and electronic precision, this Unisonic represents a prestigious Swiss Maison’s response to the dawn of the Quartz era.
The watch is housed in a distinct 34mm cushion-shaped stainless steel case that offers fantastic wrist presence and authentic retro character. Its most captivating visual element is the rich blue dial, adorned with applied hour markers. Inside beats the Universal Genève Unisonic movement, a refined Swiss implementation of tuning-fork technology licensed from Bulova’s Accutron system. Rather than ticking like a standard mechanical watch, the movement hums at a high frequency, driving a buttery-smooth sweeping second hand with exceptional accuracy. The watch comes fitted on a period-correct aftermarket steel bracelet signed Orion.
