AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique digital watch from the brand JAMES stands out with its decidedly retro design, characteristic of men's models from the 1970s-1980s. The case features a brushed gold finish with a geometric shape typical of vintage aesthetics. The rectangular digital dial, framed by a black border, discreetly displays the inscription "JAMES" in white letters, perfectly legible on the front.

The bracelet is composed of gold-finished metal links, with an alternating pattern of wide and thin links, reinforcing the overall retro style. The watch is equipped with a deployant clasp visible in the photo, which completes the classic look of this model. Two side pushers are also visible on the right side of the case, suggesting manual control for the digital display.

The entire piece is presented in a case with a padded white interior, framed by a deep burgundy velvet-look fabric rim. This presentation highlights the antique and authentic character of the watch, while protecting the object.

The visible face of the case shows some signs of use and micro-scratches, indicative of past use, but no major chips are observable on this face. The digital dial does not show any display, confirming the need for restoration or recommissioning.

The overall design, dial typography, and bracelet structure are typical of electronic watches produced in the second half of the 20th century, making this model an interesting choice for lovers of retro timepieces or for restoration.
