The watch features a rectangular case with rounded corners, a metallic-look finish, and a white dial with clear black Arabic numerals. The hands are slender, and the dial bears the inscription \"IK Collection\" and \"QUARTZ\" at the bottom. The visible bracelet is an expandable type with large links, in a shiny metallic finish, typical of retro and practical models from past decades. The overall look gives off a retro vibe, enhanced by the choice of slightly stylized typography on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe case shows visible patina and signs of wear, particularly on the bezel and around the dial, consistent with prolonged use and the age of the piece. The glass displays some marks and scratches, accentuating the authentic and antique appearance of the model. The expandable bracelet also shows signs of tarnishing and micro-scratches from use. The ensemble is photographed on a light textile surface, highlighting the metal's reflections and the design's sobriety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch has no superfluous decoration: the emphasis is on legibility and functionality, with a sober aesthetic, typical of utilitarian women's watches from the 20th century. No ornaments or stones are visible on the case or bracelet. The adjustment button is located to the right of the case, as on most classic quartz models. The hour markers are printed directly on the dial, without relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall style evokes watches from the late 20th century, a period when rectangular models with expandable bracelets were particularly popular for their comfort and ease of use. The watch, due to its condition and design, is perfectly suited for restoration or vintage decorative use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
