Universal Genève, a company with significant experience in the production of precision and anti-magnetic timepieces, became sole supplier of chronometer and anti-magnetic watches to SAS. The first pieces were given to the pilots and crew of the inaugural flight upon their landing at LAX on November 15th 1954. The earliest examples, as with the present lot, house the calibre 138 bumper automatic movement and bear the SAS logo on the dial.
