Sheba vintage leather strap watch rectangular dial contest promotion
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
Vintage wristwatch with a strong aesthetic, featuring a wide brown leather strap with a grained pattern, resembling lizard or crocodile skin. The rectangular dial is distinguished by a two-tone frame with a glossy finish, alternating between a gold tone and a bluish part on the upper section. The dial displays three hands (hours, minutes, seconds) and has a background adorned with clear graphic motifs, including a stylized numeral. The "Sheba" brand is not visible on the presented face but is mentioned in the seller's keywords.
The wide, textured strap is attached to an imposing case with a geometric design typical of vintage-style watches. The surface of the case presents a marked contrast between the metallic blue upper part and the golden base. The dial markers are not visible on this face, giving the watch a sleek and contemporary look, while still being resolutely retro in spirit.
The overall style of this watch clearly evokes productions from the 1970s, both in the rectangular shape of the case and the choice of colors and the width of the strap. The leather finish, with its grained appearance, adds a classic and elegant touch, while the contrast of materials and colors of the case accentuates the originality of the piece.
The clasp is not visible in the photo, but the strap appears designed for daily use. No major defects are apparent on the displayed face: the leather seems in good condition, without cracks or excessive wear, and the surface of the case shows no notable scratches. The watch is photographed on a light textile support, itself framed by a carved wooden chair back, highlighting its decorative and vintage character.
This vintage Sheba watch, a competition promotion according to the keywords, is ideal for those seeking an authentic retro piece with a distinctive design and meticulous finish. The combination of the strap and dial expresses a strong aesthetic, balancing classic elegance with a bold seventies touch.
