Lot Essay

The present Compax model was clearly part of Universal Genève's response to other popular chronographs at that time such as the OMEGA Speedmaster and Rolex Daytona. This attractive “inverse panda" (black dial with white or silver registers) chronograph is appealing because of its style aesthetics, which are associated with vintage chronographs such as the Rolex Daytona. The opposite version of this watch, the “panda” dial reference, was famously worn by model and wife of the late racing driver Jochen Rindt. That model is known as the "Nina Rindt" after the fashion muse who wore this model and collectors in recent years have called this inverse version the “Evil Nina” because of its black dial with white registers and red accents.
