A striking vintage HMT Elegance quartz dress watch featuring a deep black dial with an ornate textured plaid pattern. Sparkling crystal/rhinestone hour markers add a refined touch, complemented by classic gold-toned linear hands and the graceful cursive “Elegance” branding.
Its polished rectangular gold-plated case gives the watch a bold geometric profile with a distinctive retro presence. The matching gold-toned integrated metal bracelet completes the design and features an HMT-signed deployant clasp, adding an important original-brand detail to this elegant dress-watch configuration.
Powered by a quartz movement, this HMT Elegance carries traditional HMT branding together with the “QUARTZ” designation. The reference EGGG 54-1 11 001 is clearly stamped on the stainless-steel case back, providing an essential identification detail for collectors.
Collector’s Note
HMT (Hindustan Machine Tools) occupies an important place in the history of Indian watchmaking. Its watches, produced across mechanical and quartz platforms through its association with Citizen, have become a cherished part of India’s horological heritage.
The Elegance EGGG 54-1 11 001 stands apart with its rectangular gold-plated case, textured black plaid dial, crystal-style markers, and refined gold-toned detailing. The combination of the striking dial layout, geometric case, and matching integrated bracelet gives this watch exceptional visual charm.
An HMT quartz dress watch preserved in New Old Stock (NOS) condition and paired with its matching gold-toned integrated bracelet featuring an HMT-signed clasp makes this a particularly appealing example for collectors of unusual and well-preserved Indian dress watches.

Important Note
Due to the age of vintage quartz watches, battery condition, performance, and longevity may vary. The movement may require a suitable battery replacement or servicing depending on its current condition.
This watch is offered in New Old Stock (NOS) condition. NOS describes the condition and preservation of an old original-stock watch; it does not necessarily mean that every component, including the movement or internal parts, has remained completely untouched since its original production.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, vintage watches are not pressure-tested and should not be assumed to be water-resistant despite case-back markings such as “WR30M.”
All measurements are approximate. Please examine all photographs carefully before purchase, as they form an important part of the condition description.
