Universal watches stood out for their elegance and mechanical technique and became an immediate success. Many were the legendary models appeared in this period: Compax, Aero-Compax and Tri-Compax (1930-40), Polerouter (1954) etc. In Late 1800s, early 1900s Universal specialized in the production of fine and elegant pocket watches.
