Description/Comments:
Here is a Spider Webbed Dial watch.  Surely an oddity.  The round case measures 1 5/16" (including the crown) and 1 1/2" (lug-to-lug) and 5/16" thick.  The crystal is new.  The back is marked Diamond Tooled, Base Metal Case, Electronically Timed, Antimagnetic and Swiss Made.
Dial:
The center of the dial is in the shape of a spider web!  The entire dial is a beautiful silver color and the spider web has an iridescent starburst effect to it when the light reflects from it.  It is marked Rouen with five red stars, De Luxe, Unbracable (that's the spelling) Mainspring , Durable, Antimagnetic, and Swiss Made.  The hour and minute hands are the pointex type.  And the seconds hand has a neat red arrow tipped pointer at the end.  There is a 60 seconds/ minutes scale at the very edge of the dial that is marked in silver colored dots against circular rim of thin streamlined silver colored lines.
Band:
Stainless Steel expansion band.
Movement:
Swiss Made Mechanical Wind.
