This model stands out with its patinated case, evoking an authentic retro style. The visible dial displays 24-hour numbering, with red marking for hours 13 to 24, which is typical of watches designed for quick reading over a full time range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial features a white background and simple typography, with black Arabic numerals for hours 1 to 12 and red for 13 to 24. Minutes are indicated by small black numerals around the periphery of the dial. Both the hour and minute hands are visible, in a classic style, without particular decoration. The protective glass of the dial appears slightly domed, accentuating the traditional aspect of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe round case has a matte metallic finish, with a sturdy suspension ring at the bottom, allowing it to be worn on a chain or attached to a vest. The winding crown is positioned at the top of the case, in line with traditional pocket watches. No brand or manufacturer markings are visible on the front of the case or dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch rests on a flat surface, allowing the front and top profile to be observed, but no information can be provided about the back or the interior of the mechanism.

The presentation on a lace tablecloth reinforces the retro character and highlights the object in an elegant context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is: the watch has not been tested and its functionality is not guaranteed.
