Design
- Dial and Hands
- The watch features a silvered dial with fancy applied numerals. It is reported that the dial and hands appear to be original. Surface conditions on the dial include a scratch between 9 and 10 o'clock, spotting at 11 o'clock, and a scuff between 12 and 1 o'clock.
- Visible features
- • Silvered dial displays applied faceted polygon markers at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock, complemented by textured baton indices at other hours. • Dotted circular minute divisions encircle the outer dial perimeter. • Surface scratch visible near the center between 9 and 10 o'clock, along with scuff marks between 12 and 1 o'clock. • Fitted to a dark textured lizard or reptilian-pattern leather strap.
- Movement and Functionality
- The watch is powered by a manual-wind Calibre 1002 movement configured for time-only functions. The movement was reported to be in working order at the time of cataloguing. The movement has not been tested for accuracy, and the source recommends a service due to the age of the watch.
- Case and External Physical Characteristics
- The timepiece features an 18k gold case with a diameter of 32.5 mm. The case shows signs of previous polishing, which has resulted in a rounded center on the case back. Condition reporting identifies light scratches on the case and notes that the hallmark on the back of the lower right lug is visible but lightly rubbed.
