The numbers 12 and 6 are stylized and clearly legible, contributing to the overall retro aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial exhibits typography characteristic of the mid-20th century, with \"VERBEL WATCH\" centered below the 12, and \"INCABLOC\" at the bottom, indicating the presence of an anti-shock device on the original movement. Both the hour and minute hands are present, simply shaped, and also patinated by time. No glass or bezel is visible in the photo; only the dial, with its hands, is offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe edge of the dial shows traces of oxidation and some indentations, particularly in the upper corners, confirming authentic wear.
