Those pushers were never used on a space. Shame as it is a very nice watch in all other respects.

: Up for grabs is a vintage Universal Geneve in steel

: 885104/01 reference, first version with inverse panda dial

: 2,509,XXX serial number somewhere around 1970 production

: Excellent vintage condition without any major dings or dents.
: Nicely defined lugs. G

: correct red Chrono hand. Original and correct blued steel wide
: subdial hands. No relume, no refinish, no chipping, no drag
: marks.

: Crystal does not have a UG logo in center.

: bezel appears original and is in excellent vintage condition.

: Pushers are not the traditionally accepted and usually seen black
: tip ones, but could be correct for this watch. Please note a

: red chrono hand, wide subdial hands, same bezel, and what appear
: to be beveled pushers and domed crown.

: Casebackis in excellent original condition. Serial and reference
: numbers are still clearly visible and fully intact. No major
: tool marks. Inside is correctly stamped.

: conditions. Chronograp functions as it should and resets back to
: zero.

: buckle.
