Rare 1940s Herma Etanche Mens Hermetic/Monobloc Bullseye Dial Watch, Restoration

Description: k661 Rare 1940s Herma Etanche Mens Hermetic/Monobloc Bullseye Dial Watch, Restoration A very interesting watch design... Currently the crown/stem pull out of the watch. With the crown/stem removed, the whole centre of the watch pushes out through the dial side. The centre looks to be a 2-part design, with the bezel/sides overlapping the bottom / inner section, however it is clear from the marks that it's previous owner made some efforts to open it without success. Despite best efforts and various tools, we have been unable to open it either, so we have no idea as to the movement. Currently the watch is in time setting position, so with the crown & stem inserted the hands adjust, but the watch cannot be wound. At the time of listing, the watch did start running when given a shake - see images for the timegrapher results - we would hasten to add that this is based on whatever power was remaining within the watch. A very unusual, waterproof type design, almost a hermetically sealed unit on the basis that it does not seem to open... A great item for the horological collector. See pictures for condition, as the images form part of the item description.
