- Dial and Case Construction
- The watch features a rectangular stainless steel tank-style case measuring 22 mm in width, 37 mm in lug height, and an 18 mm lug width. The dial presents a two-tone bronze and cream finish framed by black numerals and blued steel hands.

The dial is enclosed beneath a shaped plexiglass crystal exhibiting surface grazing, while the case retains light wear.
- Dating, Documentation, and Source Caveats
- The seller assigns a date of issue of 1932 to the timepiece, associating it with Art Deco design. The specific model reference number is recorded by the seller as unknown, and original box and papers are not included. Because the case back and movement cannot be observed in the provided photograph, internal serial numbers, reference stampings, and calibre markings are not recorded in this source.
- Reported Movement and Mechanical Specification
- Internal movement components and case interior markings are not visible in the available imagery. According to the seller's specification, the watch is powered by a manual-wind mechanical Calibre 20 movement containing 15 jewels. The vendor states that the watch appears to be running well, though the formal service history is recorded as unknown and the power reserve is listed as unknown.
