The round dial has a patinated beige finish, with signs of wear and oxidation on the surface. The black Arabic numerals are clearly legible, as is the central inscription \"TIMEX\". Two hands are present, one for hours (short) and one for minutes (long), both dark in color, with slight apparent oxidation. The fluted crown, positioned on the right, is also visible and appears to be original. The dial shows signs of age, with small chips and uniform wear across the entire surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is missing its crystal, case, and strap, revealing only the movement and dial. The overall appearance suggests a piece from a wristwatch of past decades, probably from the 1960s to 1970s, which corresponds to the aesthetic and typography of Timex dials from that period. The minute markers are printed in black, forming a precise inner circle. The edge of the dial is slightly altered, confirming prolonged use and exposure to the elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe beige patina, characteristic of antique watches, gives this dial an authentic and retro look. The contrast between the light background and the black numerals facilitates reading, while the fluted crown, with its golden tone, adds a touch of visual relief. No specific material is mentioned on the dial, but the ensemble presents a metallic appearance beneath the patina of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Timex mechanical movement is ideal for repair, restoration projects, or for salvaging spare parts. It can also serve as a base for creating a decorative object from vintage watch components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is, with pronounced wear, marked patina on the dial, visible chips on the periphery, and slight traces of oxidation on the hands.
