My HMT Dhruva watch.

It is my first post ever on a blog. Well I am so exited! My first post starts with the review of my mechanical watch. It is an HMT dhruv watch,17 jewels,hand winding. Uses reliable in-house caliber 0231 which is based on citizen caliber 0201, which HMT acquired in the 1960s. Whenever I tell anybody about my hmt watch, their reaction is " but I thought that the brand was closed long ago" well if you also think like that then WAKE UP! Now posting the pics of it, note that it is on a strap, it is not the original configuration. It comes on a metal bracelet.It is one of the 'rarer' watches made by HMT.
It has a nice 'bluish white' dial.The diameter of  the case is 35mm or something. I do not remember exactly.


                                          It is very slim as you can see.

UPDATE- Government of India has decided to shut HMT down.
