The case has an elongated rectangular shape, with a shiny gold finish on the visible part. The dial features the words \"AVELTA\" and \"INCABLOC\", as well as applied gold hour markers and two black markers at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. The hands, also gold, are baton-shaped, typical of mid-20th century vintage watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe apparent strap is black, with a woven texture, and a gold-finished buckle matching the case. A notable detail is the presence of a suspended, gold-colored tag, embossed with the name \"Avelta\", suggesting that the watch has never been worn or handled very little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe case features vertical striations on the lower part, enhancing the vintage style, likely inspired by watch trends from the 1950s to 1970s. The fluted crown, positioned on the right side, is also gold and easily accessible for manual winding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe glass surface appears clean with no visible chips, and the dial shows no major alterations on the visible face. Some traces of wear or micro-scratches may be observed on the gilding, mainly on the edges, which is consistent with an antique object that has not been used but has been stored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is presented suspended, highlighting the rectangular geometry of the case and the sobriety of its design.
