A beautifully preserved New Old Stock example of the HMT Lalit Quartz, showcasing the sharp geometric styling language of HMT’s late quartz-era catalogue. The elegant champagne sunburst dial, applied gold-tone markers, and angular integrated case design give this piece a distinctly refined vintage character. Combined with its matching integrated stainless steel bracelet and clean minimalist layout, this Lalit stands out as a sophisticated and increasingly collectible NOS HMT quartz watch.

Important Note
This is a genuine NOS (New Old Stock) vintage timepiece that has remained unused for many years and still retains its original factory condition and finishing. Since the watch has been stored for a long period, minor age-related marks, light oxidation, tiny scratches, bracelet ageing, or slight surface ageing on metal components may be visible in places. These are normal characteristics of authentic vintage NOS watches and should not be considered regular usage wear.
