My refurbished jubilee caseback has this three mysterious stars...what does it signifies? Is there some interesting story behind it?

There's certainly a chance. No-one really knows just what is lurking in HMT's warehouses or how much of it remains. They have been showing the Kajal in stock recently, which, as you probably know, is basically the same watch with a gold dial and black case.

I think Kajal has similar dial as the old Rajat, with a case which looks similar to the new Rajat supreme but the Rajat Supreme also has a beautiful lattice-like design on its dial and this in particular makes it look very classic, especially with a white dial. Let's see if they put it up again.

One more "Vikram" with white dial and Golden hands. This looks much more elegant than my earlier collection which had a silver dial with steel hands.

Kohinoor.....the variants in this model which are made by HMT is mind boggling. This Kohinoor looks rock-solid (including the strap!)

One more black beauty....SATYAM

The good old Avinash...early 80's

AKARSH...even this has got so many dial variants...love the dial and the bold hands!

Nice watch with date functionality. I guess only Tareeq and Ravi had this date features. I am desperately waiting for this hmt Tareeq and hmt Ravi to be listed on hmt website once again.

You will get one ...two rather...white and black Tareeq!!
Black is really awesome yaar...any model for that matter.

Under Upload, there are some interesting PACE watches available with Polyamide cases.

Hi,
Can someone please provide me the full address of the HMT showrooms in Bangalore (Bengaluru) which are open and functioning? I will be in Bengaluru next week and will find out time to visit the one/two showrooms which are open.

Aqk.

Khan,

The HMT web site gives all the addresses . If you find difficulty in reaching those locations, I can guide you. Presently three showrooms are in operation. (HMT Bhavan, HMT factory outlet, HMT showroom Jalahalli). There is one more where all the HMT watches collected all over the country are stored...Global ware house..where entry is prohibited

Kajal is a Rajat, except with a gold dial and a different, lighter case material in a black colour. It was in stock yesterday on the website.

Rajat Supreme and Kanchan Supreme watches are much larger and have very different dials, hands, and cases. They also use a different movement.

I think Kajal has similar dial as the old Rajat, with a case which looks similar to the new Rajat supreme but the Rajat Supreme also has a beautiful lattice-like design on its dial and this in particular makes it look very classic, especially with a white dial. Let's see if they put it up again.

Dear Mike, Thank you. Sorry i have no knowledge about movements.
I don't know which movement is fitted with for this watch. Probably Mr. Hari may throw some light on this as always expected
No, bezel doesn't rotate.

Nice watch. The font of the day and date look just like those on the Rajat. Presumably your watch is fitted with a Miyota movement? Also, does the bezel rotate?

Dear Vikrama....nice watches..... man that Kohinoor is marvelous..never saw that before. Avinash is brilliant.

Dear Hari...any specialty of polyamide cases? never heard this before.

Dear Hari...any specialty of polyamide cases? never heard this before.

These models denote a point in HMT's history. These were an attempt to compete with Titan-Timex's plastic cased trendy watches at that time like the Lextra timepad for instance.

One of my favorite quartz watches...hmt "Track UGSS 02 BL" Blue Dial.
I personally feel that this is a unisex watch though made available as male gender watch.
Finishing is superb. Bezel doesn't rotate but adds beauty to the design
Best suitable for persons with thin wrist or those who like small or medium sized watches

Case size = 36 mm w/o crown
Lug2Lug = 41 mm approx
Strap size = 18 mm

Thanks again for posting the pictures.
what kind of camera you are using?

Do you have any other 38mm track series quartz? Some pics will be helpful to me.

Btw, I am skipping ugss11 for now and going to order another ugss07.

I really like the clarity of the yellow hands on the dark blue dial.

I'm afraid I absolutely don't know what the stars mean, but since no-one else has answered, I will just add that backs with these stars on them seem to be rather common.

Hello HMT fans, My beloved pilot (that I moved into an older Janata case so I could get the drilled lugs) has a cracked crystal, could you lovely folks let me know where replacement crystals can be obtained from? Thanks so much!

I use the crystals from the cheapest/ugliest/worst-functioning ebay frakenwatches, but if there is a source outside India for the crystals, I hope someone may tell us here!

I was considering a franken watch, but even the ugliest still go for $$. The crystals must be available in India for all these Frankens to have new crystals, just have to find a source..
