The movement is not visible in the provided primary photograph, leaving internal caliber details, jewel count, and maker marks unverified by direct observation. The listing displays physical dimensions of 1cm height, 1cm width, and 1cm depth, which appear to be cataloging placeholders rather than true measured dimensions of the watch case.
