I doubt the 40 mm - maybe including the crown? Or sloppy measurement...

Its a well known case shape and this is more like 37,5 mm

I see. What do you think of the handset and dial? Do they look original?

Hour and minute hand look OK, seconds hand´s tail has a snapped off.
Dial looks original, movement looks good.

Thank you. What is this case shape called/does it have a number? And would it be hard to locate a new second hand?

......................What is this case shape called.....................

I've sometimes seen that case shape described as "Calatrava" by various sellers.

😁

Somebody will explain the joke.

Not sure how difficult locating a second hand would be- but you could probably just wear it as is
Movement looks excellent
