AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Men's digital watch from the brand Crystal, visible on the front of the dial. This model features a rectangular design with softened corners, typical of 1980s electronic watches. The dial has a black background with a silver frame, and the inscription "CRYSTAL" at the top, and "QUARTZ" at the bottom. The watch has a liquid crystal digital display (LCD), with "HRS/MOIS" (Hours/Month) and "MIN/SEC DATE" indications below the screen, highlighting its multiple functions (hours, minutes, seconds, date, month).

The case has a brushed metallic finish. The bracelet is made of large, flat links, also with a metallic finish, with an articulated structure typical of vintage quartz watches. The watch is equipped with a push-button visible on the right side of the case, probably used for navigation or function settings.

The surface of the case and bracelet shows signs of wear, patina, and some oxidation marks, particularly visible around the dial and on the links. These traces indicate prolonged use and confirm the authentically vintage character of this model. No color indication other than the metallic appearance is visible on the photographed side.

The watch is presented flat, face up, on a wooden stand. No accessories or packaging are included in the photo. The dial glass appears to have superficial traces or scratches, characteristic of an old object to be restored.

Condition

Used item, sold as is for restoration. Untested, visible signs of wear, scratches, and patina on the case and bracelet. No guarantee of functionality, ideal for parts or restoration by a knowledgeable watchmaker.

Did you know? Quartz digital watches peaked in the 1980s, revolutionizing watchmaking with the introduction of liquid crystal displays (LCD) and multiple functions (date, stopwatch, alarm). The Crystal brand was part of this trend, offering models that were both affordable and robust.
