- Dial and Timekeeping Indications
- The face is centered by a polychrome cloisonné enamel dial depicting two aeroplanes flying over continents and the ocean. Surrounding the central enamel medallion is an inner silvered brushed ring with minute calibrations, dot numerals, and luminous hands accompanied by sweep centre seconds. The dial is signed 'VULCAIN' below centre and inscribed 'Swiss N° 20/25' along the bottom edge. An outer white ring features 12 Arabic numerals, reported by the auction catalogue as an outer revolving ring adjustable via a screw-down crown located at 4 o'clock.
- Movement and Reported Accessories
- The movement is identified in the catalogue as a 17-jewel Calibre V-10 mechanical movement, with case, dial, and movement all recorded as signed. Because the watch is depicted solely from the front, the movement and the snap-on case back are not visible for direct verification in the source photograph. The lot description also notes the inclusion of a Vulcain Certificate, an International Guarantee dated 5 May 2009, a stainless steel Vulcain buckle, and an original fitted veneered presentation box with outer packaging; none of these items are shown in the primary lot image.
- Case Architecture and Operating Controls
- The circular case measures 42 mm in diameter and is executed in 18K white gold, catalogued with a snap-on back. On the right side of the case, direct observation confirms three external controls: a round pusher at 2 o'clock and crowns at 3 and 4 o'clock. According to the auctioneer, the push button at 2 o'clock functions to set the mechanical alarm, while the screw-down crown at 4 o'clock controls the revolving 12-hour ring.
