Vintage Olympic mechanical watch movement gold white dial | repair parts

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot features a mechanical watch movement from the Olympic brand, presented without a case or strap. The visible dial is square with rounded corners, featuring a white finish patinated by time, with several signs of wear and oxidation marks. The hour markers are applied in relief, in gold color, as are the visible hands (hour and minute hands). The dial bears the inscription "OLYMPIC" below the 12 o'clock marker, as well as the number "17" above 6 o'clock, typical of mechanical models with 17 jewels.

The winding crown is clearly visible on the right side of the movement, impressively sized, with a notched finish. The overall aesthetic is distinctly vintage, evoking wristwatches from the 1960s-1970s, both in terms of the logo's typography and the dial's shape and hand style. No case, case back, or strap is included; only the mechanical part and the dial are offered.

The dial shows consistent wear, with material loss and corrosion marks on the white surface. The gold hands are still present, although the patina is clearly visible, reinforcing the antique character of the piece. The raised hour markers, typical of vintage watches, offer an elegant contrast with the light background of the dial.

The piece is ideal for salvaging spare parts, restoring, or repairing Olympic watches from the same period. Its configuration and visible elements make it easy to identify the model and verify compatibility with other older references from the brand.

Condition

Did you know? The Olympic brand appeared on many mechanical watch models in the second half of the 20th century, often recognizable by their movements with 17 jewels, a standard of robustness for watches of that era. Square dials were popular in the 60s and 70s, a period marking a turning point in European watch design.
