Universal produced monopusher chronograph wristwatches using four distinct movements: A 15.25”’ movement with a pusher co-axial with the crown at 3:00, a 16.75”’ movement with the pusher at 6:00, a 16”’ movement with the pusher at 2:00, and a 14.5”’ movement with the pusher at 2:00. It is likely that all four movements were produced by Martel, since they share some design characteristics with later movements produced by the company. Indeed, nearly-identical movements and watches appear in period Martel advertisements.
