Universal’s Aero-Compax began its run as a four-register chronograph, and evolved into the present reference 890101/01 as a standard three-register chronograph with a 24-hour dial. The chronograph was offered with three different dial colors: two toned, black, and the present lot in all white. The rotating 24-hour bezels were also offered in the present brushed steel finish, or painted to represent day and night.
