AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Alba women's watch, vintage quartz model, presented here with a round, gold-finished dial and a textured, reptile-skin-look strap. The light-colored dial displays large black Arabic numerals, offering excellent legibility. The "ALBA" inscription is clearly visible in the center of the dial, confirming the visual authenticity of the brand.

The case features a brilliant gold finish, with slim, slightly rounded lugs that frame the strap. The crown, positioned at three o'clock, is discreet and classic in shape. The dial glass reveals a smooth surface, free of superfluous decoration, true to the refined aesthetic of women's watches from past decades.

The visible strap is midnight blue, and features a textured pattern, evoking a snake or lizard skin effect, with a matte finish that is slightly shiny depending on the angle. The stitching is discreet and the strap width appears thin, suitable for a feminine wrist. No clasp is visible in this photo.

The dial does not feature a date display or other complications, which reinforces its classic and timeless style. The golden hands (hours, minutes, seconds) are thin and elegant, contrasting sharply against the light background of the dial. The general condition of the watch shows good preservation for an old model, with no major scratches or visible signs of oxidation on the photographed side.

The item is presented in a dark blue case with gold patterns, accentuating the precious and vintage aspect of the watch. The whole evokes a typical design of the late 20th century, characterized by the sobriety of lines and functional elegance.

Condition

Used watch, sold as is. The battery needs to be replaced for it to function again. The visual condition of the front face is good, with no apparent major defects. Wear and tear may persist in areas not visible in the photo.

Did you know? The Alba brand was launched in the early 1980s by the Seiko group, with the aim of offering quality watches with a contemporary aesthetic and an accessible price. Vintage Alba models are now sought after for their sober design and mechanical reliability, inherited from Japanese expertise in quartz watchmaking.
