Universal Genève introduced the Medico-Compax chronograph in the late 1940s – the chronograph featured a pulsometer scale on the dial which allowed medical professionals to measure the heart rate per minute on a scale of 15 to 30 heart beats. The present watch has the signature of retailer Hermès on the dial and it is further engraved on the caseback.
