Featuring a creme dial with painted Arabic numerals, a chemin de fer minute track, and a recessed small seconds register at 6 o'clock, it is housed in a base metal case with a stainless steel caseback. An honest collector piece for enthusiasts of mid-century Swiss small-brand horology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate 1940s – early 1950s Swiss manual-wind, 15 jewels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference 83567, stamped on the inner caseback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreme dial with bold Arabic numerals and chemin de fer minute track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall seconds sub-register at 6 o'clock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaseback signed \"Antimagnetic – Stainless Steel Back – Waterproof\" (period designations)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLate 1940s Swiss Manual Wind\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is powered by a Swiss-made manual-wind movement with 15 jewels, of simple and robust architecture typical of the era.
