Oui quartz UG-74.
Merci. C'est la version de 75 avec le boîtier spécifique au modèle quartz. Je suis ravie de l'avoir car le modèle est introuvable surtout qu'elle est en excellent état et toute d'origine, et le mouvement est extrêmement précis (+/- 10 secondes par mois). Je possède également le bracelet acier "gay frères" original.
Universal Geneve White Shadow - and shockingly not on a strap 😱⏱️⚖️👔
As some of you might have gleaned from my posts, I tend to be more of a strap than bracelet type 😂😂😂 But this is one of the few watches where I keep the bracelet fitted - the original Gay Freres one. The thinness of the watch from back then is pretty swee...
It is in practically that state 😊👍🏻
And as I do not wear it that often, it remains that way 😊 The fact that it’s so thin and easily slips under every cuff further reduces the risk of it unwittingly hitting something it shouldn’t 😁
What a beautiful and classy looking Universal Geneve White Shadow Ultra Thin.
As someone that has a new found love and appreciation for Ultra Thin watches this vintage Universal Geneve is really a special watch from a time gone by. Marc
I can thoroughly recommend the one 👌🏻👍🏻
Gerald Genta really knew what he was doing here and there is a wide range, including square models that are if anything, even more elegant and similarly slender 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
the White Shadow name is really intriguing
and the bracelet pairs with the case very well
The originally paired bracelet (with an UG logo on it) 😊👍🏻
Agreed on the name - unfortunately UG was in its ‘the more, the merrier’ phase, when it came to dial text 😁🤷🏻♂️
Verry nice and criminally underrated watches these White Shadows...
Not only was this watch designed by Gerald Genta but the movement inside, the Cal. 66 was a, well... let's say "inspiration" for the Patek Philippe Calibre 240. Just look at the layout of the two movements - just a coincidence? I don't think so because th...
How very exciting - didn’t know they came as Quartz, too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the movement comments and for joining in 👍🏻🙏🏻
You're welcome! :)
These quartz Shadows don't get a lot of attention but the Caliber 74 even gets mentioned as one of their milestones on the history section of the newly relaunched website: Unfortunately these old quartz movements are very delicate and most of them have di...
They are anything but as robust as those from the 1980s onwards 😊👍🏻🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for the additional info 🙏🏻

It was in great condition when I got it 😊👍🏻
And it does not get worn that much (unfortunately). Likewise being so very thin helps shield it from unnecessary contact with furniture 😉😂 Glad you like it 👍🏻🙏🏻
Doesn’t get worn often enough 🤷🏻♂️😊
And with more than a handful of watches as a result not posted frequently 🤷🏻♂️
