HMT (Hindustan Machine Tools) was an Indian state-owned company established in 1953, which diversified into watch manufacturing in the 1960s. HMT watches became incredibly popular in India, known for their affordability and durability, making them a household name. The brand produced a wide range of mechanical and quartz watches, many of which are now sought after by collectors of vintage timepieces.

The "Tareeq" model, meaning "date" in Urdu, is a specific line of HMT watches that often featured a date complication. These watches typically used robust mechanical movements, often with 17 jewels, and were designed for everyday wear. The "Para Shock" designation indicates shock resistance, a common feature in mechanical watches of the era to protect the movement from impacts.
