The case is vermeil - 925 sterling silver plated with 20 microns of 18ct gold - measuring 20mm by 28mm, the small Tank proportion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe dial is the reason this one is worth attention. Collectors know it as the \"turtle shell\" or wood dial: a brown lacquer worked with an organic grain that shifts between chocolate, amber and near-black depending on how the light falls. There are no numerals and no markers — the surface carries the whole watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eInside is the hand-wound Cartier Caliber 78-1, the 17-jewel movement built on the ETA 2512-1 - the mechanical option collectors tend to prefer in this line, and the one that suits a dial this quiet. It has been serviced and is running well.
