Calibre 130 is a manual-winding chronograph movement made by Universal Genève. Based on the Valjoux 72, it measures 13 ligne (29.5mm) and beats at 18,000 vph. This is the Compax version featuring small seconds and 30-minute counter sub-dials. Production has ceased, though the movement powered several Universal Genève chronographs from the mid-20th century.
