DELA Vintage Women's Watch, Black Dial, Retro Metal Bracelet, Battery Operated, Old

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Women's wristwatch by DELA, with a decidedly vintage design. The round black dial features a clear layout with white baton hour markers and three visible sub-dials: a day indicator, a date indicator, and a 24-hour display. The "DELA" inscription is clearly legible in the center of the dial. The overall aesthetic is one of retro simplicity, typical of late 20th-century quartz watches.

The case features a metallic finish with a slightly patinated look, surrounding the dial with a wide, smooth bezel. The crystal appears domed, accentuating the visual depth of the watch. The main hands (hours, minutes, seconds) are white and contrast effectively with the dark background, ensuring good readability.

The bracelet, also metallic, stands out with its wide, flat links, giving the watch a solid and contemporary look. Its brushed appearance, visible on the upper surface, is reminiscent of quartz watch bracelets from the 80s and 90s. No decoration or pattern is apparent on the visible part of the bracelet, apart from the brushed metal texture effect.

The watch is currently battery-powered (non-functional, battery needs to be replaced according to keywords). No clasp is visible in the image, as the view is centered on the top and the dial. The watch shows a patina of use, particularly on the bezel, which accentuates its original retro character.

This DELA model is distinguished by its timeless look, the strong contrast between the black dial and the metallic case, as well as the presence of complications (day, date, 24h) rarely found together on this type of women's watch at the time. No additional decoration or stones are visible on the photographed face.

Condition

Used watch, sold as is. Signs of wear, scratches, and a patina are visible on the bezel and bracelet. Operation not tested, battery required (not supplied).

Did you know? The DELA brand, although less known today, offered quartz models in the 80s and 90s characterized by their robustness and sleek design. Watches with multiple complications (day, date, 24h) were then an argument for modernity, at a time when the quartz watch was supplanting the mechanical watch in daily life.
