Lincoln vintage mechanical watch movement Incabloc 17 jewels – spare parts

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot concerns a Lincoln brand mechanical watch movement, intended for use as spare parts or for watch restoration. The item visible in the photo features a round silver-colored dial with applied baton markers and central black hands. The dial displays the inscriptions "LINCOLN" at the top and "INCABLOC 17 RUBIS" at the bottom, indicating a mechanism equipped with the Incabloc shock protection system and a 17-jewel movement, a common characteristic of quality mechanical watches from the mid-20th century.

The outline of the movement shows technical openings and signs of wear, typical of an old or disassembled component, without a case or strap attached. The golden winding crown is visible on the right, partially pulled out, which facilitates its identification as a movement intended for repair or parts recovery. The dial surface shows a patina and some marks, indicative of the object's age and prior use.

The dial has a metallic finish, with a brushed effect visible in the light. The markers are clearly visible, without numerals, and the overall look remains sober and classic, typical of vintage mechanical wristwatches. No crystal is present, leaving the dial and hands exposed.

This movement is photographed on a decorative, wood-look background, which is not included in the sale. Only the front face of the movement is visible in the provided image; the back, internal mechanism, and condition of the internal components cannot be assessed from this view.

This piece is primarily aimed at professionals or experienced watch enthusiasts looking for vintage Lincoln parts for restoration, repair, or antique watch projects.

Condition

Used item, sold as-is for spare parts. The dial shows signs of wear, scratches, patina, and visible imperfections. Untested. Only the photographed part is included in the sale.

Did you know? The Incabloc system, mentioned on this dial, was invented in 1934 in Switzerland and quickly established itself as one of the most reliable shock protection devices in mechanical watchmaking. It protects the balance wheel pivot, a vital part of the movement, against accidental shocks, thereby extending the lifespan of mechanical watches.
