Description: A classic mid-century German mechanical watch from Osco (Otto Schlund & Co.), featuring the historic "PARAT" cooperatively-tested mark. It features a silvered dial with applied raised Arabic numerals, lumed syringe hands, a blued second hand, an outer minute track, and a framed date window at 3 o'clock. The dial is signed "OSCO PARAT" and "21 JEWELS / SHOCKPROOF". The movement is housed in a gold-plated case with a stainless steel screw-down back stamped "Antimagnetic - Waterprotected - Shock Protected - Stainless Steel Back", alongside a hand-engraved jeweler's/owner's mark "WH 1958".
Condition: Pre-owned/vintage project piece. The mechanical movement is currently running, though its exact timekeeping accuracy and power reserve have not been tested; a routine service is recommended for regular daily use. The acrylic crystal displays hairline scratches. The gold-plated case exhibits heavy plating wear, brassing, and pitting along the lugs and edges.
Sold as a standalone watch head (no strap or spring bars included) strictly as-is.
