Vintage Universal Genève Watch with Chinese Character Dial

This is a vintage wristwatch featuring a distinctive dial marked with traditional Chinese characters instead of standard numerals. The watch is branded 'UNIVERSAL GENEVE' with the company's 'U' logo visible at the 12 o'clock position. The case appears to be made of stainless steel or white metal, featuring a polished bezel and straight lugs. A particularly notable feature is the integrated metal bracelet with a bark-like or woven 'brick' texture, suggesting a luxury construction typical of late 1950s to 1970s Swiss horology. The dial is white or light cream, housing black lance-style hands for hours and minutes. Its condition shows visible signs of age including surface scratches on the crystal and bezel, as well as significant tarnishing and some accumulation of grime on the textured bracelet. These watches are often associated with special commissions or regional market exports, making the Eastern typeface a significant rarity for collectors. The craftsmanship of the textured band indicates a high-end vintage accessory, likely using a manual-wind or automatic movement consistent with Universal Genève's historical prestige.
