Late 1950s Universal Masterpiece Tricompax - Extremely Rare Early Waterproof Model "Spillino"

This is an exceptionally rare piece, representing the first waterproof version of the Tricompax, one of Universal's flagship models. The round, thick case shape with small round pushers and a dust cover stands out prominently among the many variations of the Tricompax line.

The silver dial, featuring bar indexes paired with dolphin hands, reflects the characteristic aesthetics of the 1950s. The silver indexes enhance the sporty impression of the watch.

Waterproof Tricompax models transitioned to a twisted-lug case design in the late 1950s, making the early Spillino case particularly rare due to its limited production and distribution.A genuine buckle is included.
