The HMT Shakti is a classic vintage quartz dress watch that embodies HMT’s understated elegance and dependable everyday reliability. This New Old Stock (NOS) example has been preserved in unused condition for decades and features a striking original black dial accented by gold-tone baton hour markers, matching gold-tone hands, and a clean, minimalist layout. Housed in a polished stainless steel case and paired with a stainless steel expansion bracelet, the Shakti delivers timeless vintage styling with the convenience and accuracy of an original HMT quartz movement. Untouched NOS black dial variants have become increasingly difficult to source, making this a desirable addition for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage HMT watches.
