This Universal Geneve Unisonic-Sub (whew, what a name) is a macho looking watch in fantastic condition. Interestingly, this is not a mechanical automatic watch, but an Accutron Tuning Fork movement, pre-cursor to the ubiquitous quartz watch. The Tuning Fork was once touted as the most accurate watch in the world and produces a very distinctive hummmmmm, which is like catnip to the fans of this movement. In reality, this movement tends to consume batteries. Anyway, this is a rarely seen watch in this condition, defintely collector’s quality. At a case size of 43mm, it is also a good wearer and with it’s masculine styling, will look almost contemporary on the wrist. The dappled brown dial is a hint to it’s vintage origins, and I particularly love the hour markers—especially the slight difference at the hour marker at 12:00. Even the white bezel and orange minute hand appeal to me. I really like this watch and am thinking about getting it, for a pretty reasonable (not too much of a markup over ebay, say) $995 at WatchesToBuy.
