A stunning and rare collector's 1978 Universal Genève ”Triumph” men's wristwatch (Model Ref. 243301). This piece is a prime example of high-end 1970s Swiss watch design and minimalism.

Key Features:
Exceptional Case: Crafted from tungsten, offering extreme scratch resistance while maintaining its original shine. The case features a unique and distinctive tonneau (barrel) shape.

Dial: Luxurious golden color with a vertical-brushed texture and minimalist stick hour indices.
Case Size: 29 mm (excluding crown) x 34 mm (lug-to-lug), ultra-thin profile (approx. 7 mm).
Crown: Original with a natural black onyx cabochon stone.
Bracelet: Integrated, elegant two-tone (stainless steel and gold-plated) fine-mesh Milanese bracelet with an original, branded clasp.
Movement: High-grade Swiss Universal Genève quartz movement.

Condition:
The watch is visually in excellent condition (Overall Rating: 9/10). It has recently undergone a professional service: the bracelet was ultrasonically cleaned, the movement was cleaned, and a brand-new battery has been installed. It is fully operational and keeps precise time.

Note on wear: There is minimal wear on the dial between the 4 and 5 o'clock positions, and more noticeable wear on the crown. The bracelet fits comfortably and securely.
This timepiece serves as a perfect accessory for daily wear or as an investment piece for collectors who appreciate the rich heritage of Universal Genève.
