The Universal Geneve 884100 was manufactured with two different dial options, one primarily in white, the 884100/02 that I cover in this site, as well as the 884100/01, which is primarily black.
The Universal Geneve 884100/02 features:
- asymmetric black registers (see below image for details)
- thin red crosshair
- black baton index markers for each hour, with exceptions:
- double markers at 12 o’clock
- no markers at 3 and 9 o’clock
- cropped markers at 2 and 4 o’clock due to the larger minute counter
- applied Universal Geneve logo at 12 o’clock below the two black index markers
- ‘UNIVERSAL GENEVE’ text below applied logo, on two lines
- ‘UNI-COMPAX’ text on the bottom half of the dial
- short black 1/5 second marks, longer at each second
- outer tachymeter scale, Base 1000 with black text and numerals
