Vintage Garonne mechanical watch movement white dial to restore

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This Garonne brand mechanical watch movement features a square dial with softened corners, displaying a matte white finish. The inscription "Garonne" appears clearly in cursive letters below the 12 o'clock position. The hour markers are denoted by large rectangular metallic appliques, giving it a clean style, typical of 1960s-1970s models. The visible hands are straight, stick-type, also metallic in color, offering good legibility despite the oxidation and signs of use present on the dial surface.

The fluted crown, positioned on the right side, suggests classic manual winding. The visible bezel and case show signs of wear, scratches, and some oxidation marks, characteristic of an old object requiring restoration or use for spare parts. No crystal is present on the visible face.

The assembly is photographed resting on a carved box, which highlights the metal's patina and the dial's details. No elements of the strap or case back are visible in this view. The item is strictly described according to the observed front face.

This movement is intended for individuals looking for a vintage component for repair, restoration, or a watchmaking project. It can also be suitable for creative uses or for salvaging specific spare parts for the Garonne brand.

Did you know? The Garonne brand, known for its accessible mechanical watches in the second half of the 20th century, often offered designs inspired by the minimalist and geometric aesthetic that characterized the 60s and 70s, a period during which the mechanical wristwatch was still ubiquitous before the massive arrival of quartz.
