69 — the compact Compax chronograph

In brief

Smaller than the 72, and that was the whole point. Functionally the 69 sits in the same family, and Universal Genève fitted it to several versions of the Compax.

Short history

Case sizes across the Compax family shifted with the model and the decade, and Universal Genève built variants to suit. The 69 covers the need for a smaller chronograph without abandoning the column-wheel architecture that ran through the entire line.
