Vintage Indus Swiss mechanical watch with gold dial - Spare parts

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed visual description

This listing is for a vintage Indus Swiss mechanical watch, presented here without a strap, ideal for spare parts or watch restoration. The watch is photographed in close-up, allowing for precise observation of its dial and crown.

The round dial displays a light, patinated hue, with applied gold indices at each hour, including 12 and 6 in stylized Arabic numerals. The hands, also gold, are baton-type, with the seconds hand either absent or not visible. The name "Indus" is inscribed below the 12, with "INCABLOC" above the 6, indicating a shock absorption system, typical of Swiss watches from the second half of the 20th century. At the base of the dial, the words "SWISS MADE" remain legible.

The visible case has a metallic finish, showing traces of oxidation, scratches, and significant wear, consistent with prolonged use and a long storage period. The fluted gold crown, positioned at 3 o'clock, is clearly visible in the photo. No back, strap, or internal mechanism is visible in this image. The watch is placed on a decorative baroque-patterned stand, not included in the sale.

The metallic bezel and the watch crystal show signs of wear, including chips on the edge of the crystal and a general patina. The overall impression evokes a style typical of the 1950s-1970s, with a sober and functional aesthetic characteristic of Swiss watchmaking of that period.

Condition

Did you know? The mention "Incabloc" refers to a shock-absorbing system invented in Switzerland in the 1930s, which became a standard in mechanical watchmaking. It protects the balance staff against shocks, thereby extending the lifespan of vintage mechanical watches.
