The dial displays \"LUDICO\" and \"17 JEWELS INCABLOC\" in capital letters, typical of quality watches equipped with an anti-shock system. The applied indices are rectangular, also gold-colored, and easily legible against the light background. The stick hands are gold-colored, matching the indices, and the central seconds hand is absent from this visible movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fluted crown, positioned at 3 o'clock, is also gold-colored and shows wear consistent with the age of the piece. The dial surface shows several traces of oxidation, scratches, and chips, signs of extensive use. No strap is visible in this photo, as the movement is shown alone, revealing the case band without its attachments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall style suggests production from the 1960s to 1970s, with a sober and functional aesthetic typical of this period. The mention \"Incabloc\" attests to the presence of an anti-shock mechanism, a technology widespread in Swiss or European mechanical watches of the mid-20th century. The gold finishes, even if dulled by wear, indicate an initial concern for refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole is photographed resting on an antique piece of furniture with molded decoration, which highlights the watch's patina and reinforces its retro character. No other technical or decorative details are visible on the front face of the movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed watch, sold as-is.
