The case has a silvery metallic appearance, with a slightly patinated finish and some visible traces of oxidation or wear on the edge. The crown, at the top, features a classic fluted pattern, and the suspension loop is present, ready to accommodate a chain or ribbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial displays an aged cream hue, with patina marks, stains, and micro-scratches distributed over the entire surface. The black Arabic numerals are clearly printed, surrounded by a double railway track, one in black for the minutes and the outer one in red, which adds an extra decorative touch. The hands are beveled, bluish in color, with a small seconds hand placed in a sub-dial at 6 o'clock, typical of classic pocket watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no visible brand or logo on the front of the dial. No manufacturer indication is legible on the photographed part. The overall design, as well as the composition of the hour markers and the small seconds, evoke common productions from the early to mid-20th century, in a sober and utilitarian style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe case, viewed from the front, features discreetly embossed bezels, with no apparent engraved decoration. The bezel appears to be integral with the back, with a simple front opening. The surface shows signs of use: scratches, wear of the coating, and a slight dent visible at the bottom of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe general condition suggests that the watch requires restoration: the dial is stained and yellowed, the hands are slightly oxidized, and the case shows pronounced signs of use. Movement not tested (no indication of functionality in the photo).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is, to be restored.
