The round dial has a clear, patinated background, with rectangular gilt hour markers and two gilt hands in the central position. The marking \"UNION ANCRE\" is inscribed in the upper part of the dial, while \"INCABLOC\" appears in the lower part, indicating a shock absorber system used in many 20th-century Swiss mechanical movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe outline of the movement, visible in the photo, shows signs of wear, marks, and chips, suggesting prolonged use or unprotected storage. The gilt winding stem, partially visible on the right, is accompanied by an exposed shaft, characteristic of parts intended for repair or the recovery of watch components. No strap, case back, or other accessories are visible in this view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial finish reveals a pronounced patina and oxidation spots, typical of watches produced between the 1950s and 1970s. The hour markers and hands, with their sober and functional style, evoke the utilitarian design of mechanical watchmaking of this period. The absence of additional inscriptions or decoration indicates an entry- or mid-range model, designed for reliability and readability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is presented in a wooden box, of which only the interior is visible. The movement is intended for parts recovery, restoration, or horological study.
