The dial has a rounded octagonal shape, characteristic of some watch productions from the mid to late 20th century. The dial finish is aged white, with visible gold indices and hands. The inscription \"ANCRE\" appears below the number 12, as well as \"17 JEWELS INCABLOC\" in the lower part, indicating a movement with 17 jewels and an Incabloc shock-absorbing system, common elements in quality mechanical watches from the 1950s-1970s. No case, crown, or back is visible on the presented face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial shows signs of wear, stains, and scratches, indicating long use or prolonged storage out of its case. The applied indices are all present, in a diamond or stick shape, and the hour and minute hands are still mounted on the central axis. The second hand is not visible on the observed face. The general appearance suggests intensive use or long-term storage as a spare part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold typography and style of the indices correspond to vintage watches of European manufacture. The assembly is presented in a wooden drawer, but only the movement is included in the sale according to the photo. No additional markings, serial number, or specific manufacturer indication are visible on the front face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial and apparent mechanism are typical of parts intended for the repair or restoration of traditional mechanical wristwatches. This movement is particularly suitable for use in watch parts recovery or to complete a restoration, with visible elements compatible with many old models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold finish of the indices and hands adds a retro touch, faithful to the aesthetics of vintage watches designed for good readability and a certain discreet elegance. The assembly is sold without a guarantee of functionality, as the part is primarily intended for recovery or repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is for spare parts.
