Universal Genève produced the Tri-Compax from the 1940s through the 1960s. The Tri-Compax watches came in a variety of sizes and styles but each model presented the following three complications: chronograph, triple calendar and moon phase. The name “Tri-Compax” was given after these three functions.
It is also interesting to note that the present watch is stamped HOX on its movement. This stamp relates to the American import hallmark of the Henri Stern Agencies. The famous retailer is mostly known for selling Patek Philippe in America but in fact he was also representing the Universal Genève brand. This very chic co-representation is nicely illustrated in the recent book published by Nicholas Foulkes: Patek Philippe The Authorized Biography, p.186.
