The round dial shows significant patina, with visible Arabic numerals and a central second hand. The classic-style hands match the overall retro aesthetic. The dial features an aged cream hue, with characteristic wear and discoloration marks from prolonged use and an old watch. A notched crown can be seen on the right side of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe case has a matte metallic finish, with visible signs of oxidation and tarnishing. The lugs are long and slightly tapered, a typical detail of men's watches produced between the 1950s and 1960s. The strap, with an aged and worn appearance, seems to be original or period-appropriate, with a distinct texture and dark coloring, probably leather or a similar material, but the exact material is not identifiable with certainty from the image alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial has partially legible inscriptions, but the brand remains difficult to precisely identify from the photo. The bezel appears slightly domed, enhancing the overall retro style. The entire watch presents an authentically old aesthetic, with a consistent patina on the dial and case, testifying to a long history of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe strap is secured by visible spring bars and shows significant wear, particularly at the folds and where the buckle passes through. No specific decorative pattern is apparent on the visible face; the overall design remains sober and utilitarian, true to the spirit of men's watches from the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is photographed from above, with natural light that accentuates contrasts and highlights the texture of the patina and the nuances of the strap. No elements of the background, back, or internal movement are visible or described here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is.
