Unless you have experience with clockworks, I'd leave it alone. They are very
well sealed and don't seem to collect dust and dirt, and if it's keeping time
the lubricants are good.
It's a simple clock, wound as described with a fairly soft spring, so low
loading.
If you do want to lubricate
I've repaired many, but never had one keep accurate time over any
significant period of time. Now I just repair them so they work because I
like how they sound. (crunch, tick tick tick tick tick...). I just set the
time each time I get into the car.

Yeah I set it to the correct time and I'll let it run overnight. If it's not
too far off in the morning I'll probably just leave it alone. I need to clean

Pretty simple mechanism. Lever tied to the spring mechanism. As the spring
winds down, lever makes contact with a stationary contact, completing a circuit
that energizes a coil. Coil pulls on the lever, lifting it off the contact and
winding the spring. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Those are trivial to open up, and is worth doing just to see how it works.
Lubrication, properly, is the tricky part. Otherwise there's not too much
to go wrong.

Looking at the clock in my Ghia. It is a VDO "Kienzle" clock. I thought it was
not working, but problem seemed mainly poor grounding. I removed it from the
car and hooked it up to 12V. It's ticking like an old style windup clock, and
the hands are moving at least somewhat. Not sure how
I would not be afraid of a rebuilt depending on what the damage was but that

Probably a “Designo” interior.

Keeping your '83 240D on the road for nearly 40 years as an alternative to the
environmental impact of producing the 6 or 8 (or more) cars most people would
own in that span of time is probably more "green" that driving a new EV.
