A striking New Old Stock example of the HMT Vinay, featuring one of the most distinctive case designs from HMT’s mechanical era. The bold oval/UFO-shaped stainless steel case paired with a minimalist matte black dial gives the watch a strong retro-futuristic character inspired by late 1970s and early 1980s design language. Combined with its classic hand-winding movement and original factory protection still intact, this Vinay stands out as a highly collectible NOS HMT mechanical piece.

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, adhesive residue, 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.
