The dial has a matte finish, slightly patinated by time, and features clear black Arabic numerals, arranged in a double peripheral row. The classic-shaped hands are also black. The dial shows signs of wear and small scratches, visible indicators of its age and past use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central area of the dial shows concentric circling, characteristic of mechanical watches from the first half of the 20th century. No manufacturer's mark or logo is visible on the photographed part. The winding crown, positioned at 3 o'clock, features a serrated pattern for easier grip. The case shows some signs of oxidation and wear on the edges, reinforcing the vintage character of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is photographed without a strap or complete case, highlighting the dial and the movement visible on the side. The glass surface (or the dial if it lacks glass) shows signs of use, scratches, and some chips around the periphery. The ensemble suggests an old object, probably intended for restoration, decoration, or spare parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of the numerals, the dial's patina, and the overall design are typical of mechanical watches produced between the 1920s and 1950s. The gold tone of the dial, combined with the absence of a visible brand and the simplicity of the design, evokes productions from the interwar period or the early to mid-century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe presentation on a carved wooden background highlights the authentic and decorative aspect of this antique dial. No additional technical elements (internal mechanism, case back, strap) are visible in the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.

Their mechanism relies on a mainspring that needs to be wound regularly, which gives each watch limited autonomy but great mechanical longevity if maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCareful packaging and fast shipping.
