1970s Universal Geneve 'FS' Ferravore della Stato (Mark 2)

The Universal Geneve Ferrovie dello Stato (“Ferrovie dello Stato” is Italian for Italian State Railway, the company that owns and operates the railways and trains in the country) was produced in three series from the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s. The general requirements from the Italian State Railway were to produce a wristwatch measuring 36mm in diameter with a white dial, sub-seconds at 6 o’clock and Arabic numerals. Further, all three series feature a manual wind Universal Genève caliber 64, a non-hacking, non-chronometer movement, which also makes for a thin case profile.
