Just received today, with a very good surprise (I bought it as non-running, but found out that it keeps perfect time for the past 2 hours I spent with it)

The dial reads "UNIPLAN", which is the first time I ever see this inscription on a Reverso (although common on other rectangular watches of same era).

The back is engraved and enameled, and is exactly similar to the one shown in the Reverso book which is in the JLC museum (I wonder how many watches this family did order ?)

The crown is not original, but I can definitively live with that.

It seems that the cristal is saphire (cold feeling with the "forehead test", which would maybe make it a "Deluxe" version ?
(I am not sure exactly what the differences between the "deluxe" and the satndard are appart from the glass).

I hope you enjoy the (pretty bad so far) pictures.

Clavi

Excellent! I suspect the dial is actually from a Uniplan watch as it is the same movement and it also came in a standard and DeLuxe Version.

The biggest difference aside from the crystal is the movement which was adjusted for up to 4 positions for the Deluxe model.
