The caliber 440, introduced around 1940, represented the third generation of men's Curvex movements and featured a shorter, more compact form while retaining the characteristic curved construction of the Curvex line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is powered by the Gruen Precision caliber 440, a Swiss-made manual-winding mechanical movement with 17 jewels. Operating at 18,000 vibrations per hour, it provides approximately 36 hours of power reserve and displays hours, minutes, and subsidiary seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe champagne-tone dial features diamond-set hour markers at 12, 3, and 9 o'clock, complemented by applied gold-tone markers, matching hands, and an outer minute track. The sub-second register is positioned at 6 o'clock within a geometric rectangular design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is housed in a curved rectangular case crafted in 14K yellow gold, measuring approximately 22 x 26mm. Its stepped case construction, extended lugs, shaped crystal, and curved profile are characteristic of the Curvex design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is fitted with a black leather strap.
