Description: Overview: This is an exquisite vintage NORA wristwatch with a black dial, manufactured in Switzerland. Reflecting mid-century Swiss craftsmanship, this timepiece not only features a manual-winding movement with the Incabloc shock protection system but also an alarm function—an uncommon and valuable feature in vintage watches. Dial and Hands: Dial Color: Deep black with gold-toned Arabic numerals at 12, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 positions and pointed markers at the remaining intervals, creating a harmonious and readable dial.

Additional Features: The dial bears the "NORA" signature along with "17 Rubis Incabloc," emphasizing its Swiss origin and the movement's durability. The inner bezel ring, marked with minute indicators, is adjustable through the top crown, making it easy to keep track of elapsed time or set reminders. Case and Crown: Material: Gold-tone bezel with a stainless steel back, offering both elegance and resilience. Dimensions: Sized appropriately for a vintage piece, providing a refined wrist presence. Crowns: Two crowns—one for manual winding and time adjustment and a second crown to set the alarm function. The alarm crown, positioned at 2 o'clock, works effectively, allowing for reliable alerts, a unique feature in this vintage watch.
