UNIVERSAL GENEVE TRI-COMPAX REFERENCE 181102
One of the last, if not the last, Universal Geneve Tri-Compaxes made was the reference 181102. If the case looks familiar, that is because it is the very same case style used by the Zenith El Primeros replica cartier tank reference G381 and reference A386.
This reference certainly has a unique look: an interesting mix of gold, light brown, and white, with a little red and blue thrown in for good measure. Importantly, the case on this one appears to be unpolished. In addition to the chronograph complication, you've got a triple calendar with moonphase, all in the upper part of the dial.
