Universal Genève 2-66
ProbableThe end point of the micro-rotor programme and the movement that justifies it: the whole purpose of recessing the rotor was to remove height, and the Shadow watches are where that is fully realised. The case thickness of a Shadow is close to a specification, because there is no room in it for anything but this caliber family.
