Microtor UG 101: time for the gem-set steel version

January 2008



A year after the introduction of the Microtor Calibre UG 100 in 2006 – the limited-edition anniversary model with its movement featuring automatic winding by an off-centred micro-oscillating weight and inspired by the legendary Calibre UG 66 launched in 1966 – Universal Genève is delighted to present the Microtor Calibre UG 101, to be series-produced in the traditional spirit of the Geneva-based firm.The new Calibre UG 101 retains the essential technical characteristics of the UG 100, and in particular a chronometer-quality escapement, but has been adapted to meet industrial production criteria. The finely engraved and gilded bridges, decorated with circular Côtes de Genève, are reminiscent of the movements produced by Universal in the 1950s.
