AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This Diesel Time watch features a design marked by a retro aesthetic, typical of vintage quartz productions. The round black dial is highlighted by silver Arabic numerals and visible minute markers, offering excellent time readability. The hands, including a contrasting red second hand, reinforce the functional and dynamic aspect of the piece.

The bezel has a circular embossed finish evoking a raw and industrial style, accentuating the watch's retro character. The minute markings (10, 20, 30, etc.) are molded in relief on the bezel, highlighting the attention to detail in the design. The visible case has a shiny metallic appearance, with no precise material indication, but with a finish reminiscent of chrome or polished metal.

The dial bears the inscription "DIESEL TIME" and "QUARTZ" in white letters, inscriptions that are perfectly legible and characteristic of quartz movement watches from past decades. The notched side crown is visible on the right side of the case, typical of manual adjustment models.

The overall appearance suggests a masculine wristwatch due to its robust proportions and distinctive style. The object shows visible signs of wear on the glass and bezel: micro-scratches, small marks, and general patina, signs of prior use that reinforce its vintage authenticity.
