This is a late 1930s production featuring the renowned International Caliber 83 movement, housed in a popular screw-back Calatrava case with an extremely rare upturned sector dial. While occasionally seen in watches from the same era by Longines, the 3-sector upturned design is nearly unheard of in International timepieces. The outer periphery of the dial also features a pearl drop finish, a rarity for this era, making it a vintage International piece with top-tier design and rarity. It is equipped with elongated baton hands that complement the pearl drop indices, and despite its compact 30mm size, it exudes a presence reminiscent of 32 to 33mm watches. This timepiece houses the celebrated International Caliber C.83, which is emblematic of the brand.
