The dial carries traditional “PARA SHOCK”, “17 JEWELS”, and elegant “Janata Super Deluxe” cursive branding alongside the HMT logo.
The watch is housed in an authentic polished round stainless steel case and powered by its original 17-jewel mechanical hand-winding movement, giving it the character and mechanical appeal associated with vintage HMT watches.
The original stainless steel case back is marked with “STAINLESS STEEL”, “SHOCK RESISTANT”, “WATER RESISTANT”, and reference 2092728 34-01.
This example is presented in vintage pre-owned condition, retaining its original dial, case, and movement, and is paired with a new brown leather strap for a clean and refined finish.

Important Note
Due to the age and nature of vintage manual-winding mechanical movements, timekeeping performance may vary and may not meet the accuracy standards of modern quartz watches.
The watch is supplied with a new aftermarket brown leather strap, which should not be considered original to the watch.
The “SHOCK RESISTANT” and “WATER RESISTANT” markings are period case-back markings and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of present-day performance. Unless specifically stated otherwise, vintage watches are not pressure-tested and should not be assumed to be water-resistant.
All measurements are approximate. Please examine all photographs carefully before purchase, as they form an important part of the condition description.
