Design
- Dial and Hands
- The watch features a circular silver-toned dial with a subtle sunburst finish. Applied silver-toned baton markers indicate the hours, with doubled indices positioned at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions. Dial printing consists of "VULCAIN" beneath 12 o'clock and "17 JEWELS" above 6 o'clock. Time is shown with faceted dauphine hands. Although the seller description notes a caliber "with sub seconds", visible observation shows no seconds hand, subsidiary dial, or seconds track on the dial.

- Movement and Seller Dating
- The seller dates this men's dress watch to the mid-1960s and states that it houses a 17-jewel manual-wind Peseux 330 caliber. Because the movement is not visible in the provided imagery, mechanical details and caliber identity rely entirely on the seller's cataloging. The seller's description of a caliber "with sub seconds" conflicts with the watch face, which visually presents only hour and minute hands without an auxiliary seconds display.
- Case Construction and Dimensions
- The watch is housed in a circular white metal case with slim lugs and a ribbed winding crown. According to the seller, it is an original single-piece case of 14K solid white gold, though hallmarks and internal case markings are not recorded in the visible photograph. The case measures 31.5 mm side to side excluding the crown and 35 mm from top lug to bottom lug. It is mounted on an 18 mm wide black lizard-grain leather strap with a white-toned buckle.

Research required
- Research required: Source text claims 'Peseux 330 manual wind caliber with sub seconds', but the dial visibly lacks a sub-seconds register or seconds hand.
- Research required: Internal movement, case back, and gold hallmarks are not visible in the supplied photograph; movement details and 14K white gold composition rely entirely on seller reporting.
