The case has a patinated metallic finish, visible throughout the structure, with noticeable signs of wear and oxidation, typical of an old model. The dial, also square-shaped, displays Arabic numerals (12, 3, 6, 9) and baton hour markers, all printed in a geometric style characteristic of mid-20th century design. The hands, thin and simple, are at the center of the dial, with no visible second hand. The crown, positioned on the right, has a golden finish dulled by time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial glass is slightly domed, showing some scratches and signs of use. The watch is mounted on a fine-textured black ribbon, likely original or old, attached to the elongated rectangular lugs. The ensemble clearly evokes the retro aesthetic of the 1940s to 1960s, with an elegant and functional sobriety. No logo or brand is legible on the dial or the case visible in the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage watch has an authentic look, marked by the natural aging of the metal and dial, reinforcing its antique character. Its clean design, without superfluous decoration, highlights the geometry of the case and the readability of the dial. The object is photographed from the front, which allows for appreciation of all the details of the dial, hands, and case, but does not allow for observation of the back or the internal mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed watch, sold as is, to be restored.
