The HMT Shrawan is a refined vintage mechanical dress watch that reflects HMT’s tradition of blending timeless design with dependable engineering. Named “Shrawan” (Shravan) after the revered figure from Indian tradition who symbolizes devotion, responsibility, and unwavering dedication, the watch carries a subtle cultural significance beyond its elegant appearance. This New Old Stock (NOS) example has been preserved in unused condition for decades and features an original gold dial with a distinctive vertical pinstriped texture, complemented by applied gold-tone baton indices and matching hands. Encased in its original gold-plated case and powered by the legendary HMT Caliber 0231 hand-winding movement, this untouched NOS Shrawan is an increasingly scarce find for collectors who appreciate both Indian watchmaking heritage and timeless vintage design.
