Universal, "Compadre-30", "Oyster Design", rare silver dial with roman indexes, water-resistant, circa 1940s. It is called Oyster Design because the shape of the back cover is very similar to Rolex Oyster case. This model also exists in later years, but the shape of the back cover, the size of the crown and pushers are different between the earlier and later models. This piece is a precious early Oyster Design with big crown and big pushers, and the rare Roman indexes, long bar indexes, and silvered tachymeter dial combined with blued steel baton hands are a rare gem with a modern taste. It is equipped with a Universal Cal.381. It is a precious W-name model with Venezuelan jeweler "CARACAS".
