- Case and Exterior Construction
- The timepiece features a round stainless steel case attributed by the seller to Dennison, measuring 33.5 mm in width and 40.5 mm in lug height, with an 18 mm lug width. In direct observation, the case exhibits downward-sloping lugs, a smooth polished bezel, and a fluted winding crown situated at 3 o'clock. It is fitted with a blue leather strap and a Plexiglass crystal. Internal case markings and serial stampings are not recorded in this source, meaning physical confirmation of the Dennison manufacture and reference designation relies entirely on the dealer listing.
- Dial Configuration and Display
- The watch presents an aged grey dial displaying black-outlined Arabic hour numerals, an outer minute track, and a recessed subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o'clock. Time is indicated via syringe-style hour and minute hands filled with luminous material. The seller describes the dial as having original lume and an attractive patina. However, the specific chemical composition of the luminous material is not identified in the source text, and verification of original application versus later servicing cannot be determined from the available material.
- Reported Movement and Technical Specifications
- The internal mechanism is not depicted in the source imagery, leaving any movement markings or serial numbers unrecorded. The seller lists the watch as being powered by a 15-jewel Omega calibre 30T2PC mechanical movement with an estimated 44 hours of power reserve. A clear contradiction exists within the dealer's specification table, which lists the winding as 'Automatic' while simultaneously reporting the movement type as 'Mechanical' and the movement as 'Calibre 30T2PC'. This internal discrepancy reflects contradictory reporting by the vendor rather than verified movement operation.

Research required
- Research required: Movement and case interior are not visible in the provided photograph; calibre specification relies on source reporting
- Research required: The source contradicts itself by listing winding as 'Automatic' while stating mechanical movement and calibre 30T2PC, which is traditionally manual-wind
- Research required: Luminescence condition and material composition cannot be independently verified from the image alone
