The dial has a rounded rectangular shape, with a slightly beveled appearance on the edges. The main finish of the dial is light in color, with signs of wear, marks, and a pronounced patina typical of an old object. The indices are gold-colored, stick-type, with the Roman numeral \"XII\" at the top of the dial, adding an elegant and retro touch to the whole. Two gold-colored hands (hours and minutes) are present; the second hand is absent or not visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial bears the following inscriptions: \"ARM\" at the top, and \"17 RUBIS\" at the bottom, specifying the type of movement. The notched, gold-colored crown is clearly visible on the right side of the movement, indicating manual winding. The overall appearance of the dial shows stains, oxidation marks, and scratches, lending an authentic character to this antique timepiece. The movement is presented bare, without a strap or case, which allows direct observation of the dial's surface and its lateral mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of this movement evokes a mid-20th century production, with a sober and functional design, typical of mechanical wristwatches of that period. The slightly textured and aged dial highlights the simple typography and gold indices, appreciated for their legibility and discreet refinement. No additional logos or decorations are visible on the presented face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of 17-jewel mechanical movement is sought after for its robustness and the quality of its hand-wound mechanism. The visual emphasizes its original condition, with a marked patina of use and signs of age, particularly on the dial surface and the appearance of the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement is placed on a wooden stand with a gold-colored decoration (not included), which highlights its decorative and vintage character.
