- Case and Physical Presentation
- The watch features a round stainless steel case reported by the source to measure 34mm in width, 40mm in lug height, and 19mm in lug width. It is equipped with a plexiglass crystal and fitted with a blue textured leather strap. Direct observation of the front shows a polished metallic case and lugs enclosing the dial assembly. The seller describes the piece as being in vintage condition with light wear consistent with age.
- Movement and Documentation Limitations
- The source describes the watch as powered by a manual-wind mechanical movement. However, specific movement details are not recorded in the source listing, which marks the model reference, movement calibre, jewel count, and power reserve as unknown ('u/k'). The production era is cited by the seller as circa the 1960s ('c.1960s'), though this attribution is not verified by movement or case back images in the source listing. The watch is also documented as not including original box or papers ('Box No', 'Papers No').
