Stowa INT AS Cal. 1980 – 17 Jewel Swiss Watch Movement – With Dial, Hands, Crown & Stem – Vintage

📌 Description

Vintage Stowa INT watch movement powered by the AS (A. Schild) Caliber 1980, featuring 17 jewels. This is a complete assembly including the dial, hands, crown, and stem — ready to be cased by a watchmaker or used for parts.

The movement is not branded on the dial. When wound, it showed signs of running, and the balance moves freely. Due to age, it is offered strictly as a parts or project movement.
