The whole is dominated by a patinated white dial, punctuated by raised gold markers for the numbers 12, 3, and 6, as well as gold dots for the other hours. The inscription \"TUSAL 17 RUBIS\" is clearly legible in the center, indicating a traditional 17-jewel mechanical movement, characteristic of quality Swiss watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial shows natural patination and visible signs of wear, highlighting its authenticity and age. The hands, also gold-colored, are of a classic shape, one for the hours and the other for the minutes, both fixed in the center of the dial. The winding crown, positioned on the right, has a serrated relief for better grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire, slightly oval dial rests on an aged-looking metal base, with a gold finish tarnished by time. As no material indication is mentioned in the keywords, the description is limited to the observation of this aged metallic appearance and the visible patination across the entire front surface. No case back or strap is visible in the photo, only the front part being shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall style of this watch evokes Swiss productions from the 1950s-1970s, with a sober design, applied gold numerals, and an aesthetic typical of vintage timepieces. The \"SWISS\" inscription at the bottom of the dial confirms the Swiss origin of this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is presented without its complete case or strap, suggesting potential use for parts, restoration, or display. Signs of time are visible, notably spots, scratches, and traces of oxidation on the dial and bezel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is, out of order.

This 17-jewel standard became a benchmark for robustness for many Swiss manufacturers from the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCareful packaging and fast shipping guaranteed.
