1971 Timex Mercury Day-Date Manual Wind Wristwatch - This vintage Timex manual-wind mechanical wristwatch, reference number 11651, was manufactured in 1971. The timepiece features a matte black dial with applied silver-tone baton hour indices and a day-date window at the 3 o'clock position. The dial is printed with TIMEX at the center top and contains the code 11651 2771 at the base, which identifies the model series, the M27 caliber movement, and the year of production. The case is constructed with a chrome-plated base metal bezel and a stainless steel snap-on case back. The back is stamped with the manufacturer name and material specifications. Per user-provided information, the movement runs and the day and date functions are in working order. The watch is presented as the watch head only. Case size: 34mm. The watch is in fair vintage condition with significant cosmetic wear. The chrome-plated case shows heavy pitting and substantial loss of plating on the lugs and sides, exposing the base metal. The winding crown exhibits significant brassing and wear. The domed acrylic crystal is heavily scratched and scuffed throughout. The dial and hands remain in legible condition with minor signs of age.
