This New Old Stock (NOS) example has been preserved in unused condition for decades and features a beautiful original gradient brown\/olive sunburst dial that transitions from a warm bronze centre to a darker outer edge. The applied gold and white indices, paired with gold-tone hands, create a striking vintage aesthetic. Housed in a unique cushion-shaped stainless steel case and powered by the legendary HMT Caliber 0231 hand-winding movement, this untouched NOS Chirag is an increasingly scarce find for collectors of classic HMT timepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Brand: HMT\u003cbr\u003e* Model: Chirag\u003cbr\u003e* Movement: Original HMT Caliber 0231 Hand-Winding Movement\u003cbr\u003e* Jewels: 17 Jewels\u003cbr\u003e* Shock Protection: Para Shock\u003cbr\u003e* Dial: Original Gradient Brown\/Olive Dial\u003cbr\u003e* Dial Finish: Sunburst Gradient Finish\u003cbr\u003e* Dial Markings: HMT\u003cbr\u003e* Hands: Original Gold-Tone Baton Hands with Centre Seconds Hand\u003cbr\u003e* Hour Markers: Applied Gold and White Baton Indices\u003cbr\u003e* Case: Cushion-Shaped All Stainless Steel Case\u003cbr\u003e* Case Reference: 0231-A88\u003cbr\u003e* Case Diameter: Approx. 35–36 mm (excluding crown)\u003cbr\u003e* Crystal: Original Acrylic Crystal\u003cbr\u003e* Crown: Original HMT Crown\u003cbr\u003e* Caseback: Original Stainless Steel Snap-Back\u003cbr\u003e* Caseback Markings: All Stainless Steel, Water Resistant, Shock Protected, India, Case Reference 0231-A88, Factory Production Details\u003cbr\u003e* Factory Code: Factory 4 (Ranibagh Unit)\u003cbr\u003e* Bracelet: Stainless Steel Bracelet (currently fitted)\u003cbr\u003e* Country of Origin: India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* New Old Stock (NOS)\u003cbr\u003e* Original unused watch preserved for decades.\u003cbr\u003e* Original dial, case, movement, crown, crystal, and caseback.\u003cbr\u003e* Running well with a smooth hand-winding movement.\u003cbr\u003e* Excellent cosmetic condition with sharp case edges, crisp engravings, and a well-preserved dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant Note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an original New Old Stock (NOS) vintage watch preserved in unused condition for decades.
