Case Architecture and Dial Configuration

The dial is described in the source as 'Two Tone Salmon Silver Guilloche'. Visual inspection confirms a central radial sunburst guilloché pattern in a salmon hue surrounded by an off-center Roman numeral hour track, with a cylindrical rolling month display positioned above the main dial and a rolling day display below.

The movement is catalogued as an automatic mechanism recorded under movement number SHC01MBT1276. Its indicated functions are listed by the source as 'Hour Minute, Big Date, Rollers Month and Day Cylinder System'.

The internal caliber is not visible in the available photograph, meaning technical caliber references and internal condition are not recorded in this source.
