A historically distinctive vintage Allwyn manual-winding wristwatch featuring a silver sunburst dial with a Jawaharlal Nehru Centenary commemorative graphic (1889–1989) and an Indian tricolor motif.
The dial is complemented by polished stick indices, classic linear hands, a “17 JEWELS” marking, and traditional Allwyn branding. Its cushion-shaped stainless steel case captures the bold architectural geometry characteristic of vintage watches from the 1970s and 1980s.
Powered by a 17-jewel manual-winding mechanical movement, this Allwyn carries traditional branding on the dial. The stainless steel case back features technical markings including water-resistance and shock-resistant indications, along with reference code Y381-5010.
This piece is presented in NOS-style condition, featuring a clean, well-preserved stainless steel cushion case. It is paired with a stainless steel Jubilee-style link bracelet featuring an Allwyn-signed clasp, adding to its collector appeal.

Important Note
Due to the age and nature of vintage manual-winding mechanical movements, timekeeping performance may vary and may not meet the accuracy standards of modern quartz watches.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, vintage watches are not pressure-tested and should not be assumed to be water-resistant despite water-resistance markings on the case back.
All measurements are approximate.
Please examine all photographs carefully before purchase, as they form an important part of the condition description.
