Its champagne-toned surface is speckled with natural aging and anchored by a brushed metal center ring—a rare circular feature that adds dimensionality and balance to the design. Surrounding this centerpiece are squared Arabic numerals and matching squared minute markers, offering a geometric symmetry that feels both utilitarian and intentional. A recessed sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock mirrors the dial’s finish, complete with its own subtle brushing and a matching heat-blued hand. At the center, a pair of deep blue diamond kite hands slice crisply across the dial, adding contrast and vintage elegance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInside, this watch houses a 17-jewel Illinois movement from 1923, originally part of the \"DeLuxe\" series—a designation reserved for higher-tier watches featuring elevated decoration and mechanical refinement.
