A striking vintage HMT quartz dress watch featuring a deep black rectangular dial, highlighted by a bold Arabic numeral “12” at the top, square block and stick hour markers, polished silver-toned linear hands, and distinctive “GALAXY QUARTZ” branding. Its polished rectangular stainless steel case gives the watch a sleek, geometric retro profile that stands out beautifully on the wrist.
Powered by a quartz movement, this HMT timepiece combines a clean vintage dial layout with distinctive case-back detailing. The stainless steel case back features the HMT logo, water-resistance marking, Pegasus emblem, “ALL STAINLESS STEEL” engraving, reference CG S 1G07, and “INDIA” identification.
This example is offered in New Old Stock (NOS) condition, featuring an unworn vintage stainless steel case that retains its original factory finish. The watch is paired with a flexible silver-grey textured silicone/rubber strap, adding a practical modern-retro touch to the vintage case design.
