This vintage Lark mechanical wristwatch features a cream analog dial with gold-tone applied indices, Arabic numerals at 12, 6, and 9, and a framed date window at 3 o’clock. The script Lark signature is accompanied by 17 JEWELS, while UNBREAKABLE MAINSPRING is printed above 6 o’clock.
The round gold-tone case, tapered lugs, matching hands, and domed crystal give the piece a classic mid-century dress-watch profile. The stainless-steel back is marked BASE METAL BEZEL, preserving useful period construction information for collectors and restorers.
