The dial displays no watchmaker brand or maker mark, showing instead 'INCABLOC' above the six o'clock position. The movement caliber 'Landeron 248' is asserted in the listing title, but no internal movement photographs are provided in the source to verify this attribution.

Auction Context and Source Limitations

The lot was offered without a reserve price and was recorded as 'Sold for €260' under lot number 'No. 74801469'.

Physical dimensions, metal composition, and internal movement markings are not recorded in this source. Consequently, references to a Landeron 248 caliber and 17 rubies depend entirely on the listing title and dial text rather than direct internal observation.

Evidence for this section
  • “No. 74801469”
  • “Sold for €260”
  • “INCABLOC Landeron 248 Chronographe”

Open research questions

  • What movement caliber is installed inside the watch, and does it feature Landeron 248 maker or bridge stamps?

  • Is the watch an unbranded private label chronograph, or has the dial been refinished or altered?
