The seconds hand and hour hand are both visible, with a clear finish, contrasting sharply with the colored background. The dial displays \"PLATO\" in the center and \"ANTIMAG\" at the bottom, indicating antimagnetic protection, characteristic of certain mid-20th century Swiss watches. The gold crown, positioned at 3 o'clock, is clearly visible and features classic fluting for easy handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece shows significant signs of wear on the dial, with apparent chips and oxidation around the edge, typical of an old movement requiring restoration or intended for parts recovery. The partially visible case surrounds the movement, revealing attachment points and the internal architecture; no strap is present in the image, only the main face is observable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe numbers are printed in white, in a simple and legible typography, with a slight relief visible on some numerals. The baton-style hands also show signs of age. The ensemble evokes a utilitarian design, probably from the 1950s-1970s, a period when Swiss mechanical watches were renowned for their robustness and ease of readability. The overall finish, particularly the matte texture of the green dial, contributes to the retro aesthetic of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement is offered without a complete case or visible back, and it is not functional as is (out of service), making it an ideal base for restoration, repair, or for watchmaking spare parts. No other accessories or elements are visible in the provided photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is, non-functional.
