Avia women's quartz octagonal vintage watch with date dial for parts

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
Ladies' watch from the brand Avia, with a quartz movement, presented without a strap. The case features a characteristic octagonal shape, with a two-tone finish: the outer bezel has a patinated gold appearance, while the main structure of the case displays a silver tone. The dial, in aged cream color, is adorned with applied gold hour markers and Roman numerals at the cardinal positions (XII, IIII, VIII), offering a classic style. The inscription "AVIA" is written in the center of the dial, accompanied by "QUARTZ" and "FRANCE" at the bottom. A square date window is visible at 3 o'clock, displaying the number "27".

The hands are simple in style: gold hour and minute hands, and a thin dark second hand. The dial shows visible signs of wear, stains and marks related to age, highlighting the vintage character of the piece. The crown is positioned on the right, without any particular apparent decoration. The glass appears to be original, showing a slight patina and superficial scratches.

The overall effect offers an authentic aesthetic, typical of watches from the late 20th century, combining sobriety and retro elegance. No strap is visible or included in the photo; only the watch head is offered. The contrast between the patinated gold and the silver of the case accentuates the vintage style sought after by collectors of old pieces to restore or for spare parts.

The watch is photographed placed on a carved wooden box, but only the timepiece is concerned by this listing. The inscriptions "AVIA", "QUARTZ", "FRANCE" and the date window are perfectly legible on the front face presented.

Condition
Used item, sold as is for parts or restoration. Significant signs of wear on the dial (stains, dirt), visible patina on the bezel and structure. Untested, without strap, aesthetic condition as per photos.
