This is a vintage Chetak wristwatch, from India. The watch features a distinctive hexagonal/tonneau-shaped stainless steel case with a dark brown/burgundy coloured dial. The dial has a minimalist design with simple hour markers and hands. There's a date window on the dial, and text indicating it's a "Para Shock" model with 17 jewels, made in India.
The watch has a black leather strap with visible stitching and a replacement tan leather backing marked "GENUINE LEATHER." The caseback shows a serial/reference number "040412" and text about water resistance around the perimeter.
The overall aesthetic is typical of 1970s watch design, with its angular case shape and clean dial layout. This is, yet another interesting piece of Indian watchmaking history, as Chetak was one of several watch manufacturers that operated in India during the country's period of industrial development in the mid-20th century.
