The dial features raised triangular hour markers, also with a gold finish, which give the whole a decidedly vintage style. The hands, also gold, show significant wear, characteristic of a model that has spanned several decades. The inscription \"JUNGHANS 17 JEWELS\" is clearly visible on the upper part of the dial, confirming the brand and the presence of a jeweled mechanical movement, classic for quality watches from the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe winding crown, located on the right side, is prominent in size and has a knurled texture for better grip. The dial, an aged cream color, shows numerous traces of oxidation, chips, and scratches, testifying to the advanced age of the piece. The entire watch shows an authentic patina, with visible imperfections on the surface and pronounced alteration of the gold plating, particularly on the edges and around the hour markers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe object is photographed resting on an antique-style piece of furniture, but only the front face of the watch is visible. No strap or attachment is observable in this view: it is therefore the case alone, with no indication of the back. The square style and raised elements clearly place this watch in the aesthetics of the 1950s-1960s, a period when Junghans produced many mechanical models with uncluttered dials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch has a visual appearance typical of vintage models: a compact case with rounded corners, applied hour markers, and the absence of numerals for a streamlined reading. The prominent winder, uniform wear, and faded gold tone reinforce the authenticity of this antique timepiece. No other markings or decorations are visible on this face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed watch, sold out of order and as is.
