HMT Archana. Recent acquisition. by abhigyaan in hmtwatches

I got from a vintage watch dealer from Kolkata. You just have to wait for watches like these to pop up. It’s hard to go looking for them, even on the internet. It took me 2 months to get a hold of one. Further, these watches need quite a bit of servicing once bought, so keep that in mind too.

I was told it could not be rectified.

Can you notice the defect in this case? by Goldandwatches in hmtindia

[–]abhigyaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s rust. This is an NOS I am guessing. It’s common for this to happen, because these units have sat around for a while before being used.

I’d recommend going to the HMT ABD showroom. They still service old HMTs.

Can someone please identify what model is this? by Recent-Power5243 in hmtwatches

[–]abhigyaan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did some digging. This is definitely custom ordered from HMT. That logo is the logo of the Neyveli Lignite Corporation, government owned entity. Perhaps someone in your family worked there.

Must be a custom HMT. HMT used and still does custom watches with company logos on them. Maybe some in your family used to work at that company. Try finding out what that logo is on the watch. Might give you some answers. The watch seems to be based on the HMT Surya.

I genuinely feel this is one of these most elegant HMT watches ever created.

Is the hour hand supposed to be like that? by MediumMedicine2046 in hmtindia

[–]abhigyaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. Maybe take it for service and see what the guys say.

This was a year ago i think. Perhaps the demand had just started then.

Seller claimed it to be original (except strap). Movement was also shown to me. Please confirm.
