HMT kohinoor maroon dial with handwound mechanical movement
HMT is an Indian watch brand with deep horological heritage being India's first watch brand. This kohinoor (translating to jewel) is a 1972 model and has been worn by many famous politicians such as the late PM of India. It comes with various dial choice but my favourite was this one with a maroon sunburst dial and the movement is developed with Citizen watches Japan. The price is only 20$ (1600 INR)!

He's correct. About $20 give or take. Unfortunately, the only way to get one is through eBay or other platforms via Indian resellers; the official HMT website is India only. How do I know? I've been wanting one for a while now, and pulling my hair out and crying while browsing the HMT website.
Gorgeous dial! With the Kohinoor, HMT doesn't go wrong with dials. The saffron colour was always my favourite, but I think your colour has changed that.

Let me know if you find another way and I’ll do the same!
