Vintage octagonal black women's watch, hand-wound, signed dial, 70s retro

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed visual description

This ladies' watch has a decidedly vintage look with a black octagonal case and gold details visible on the bezel and winding crown. The black dial features a gold handwritten signature, with the inscription "Quartz" and another marking at the bottom right, probably a designer or model signature, although partially legible in the photo. The hour and minute hands are gold, elegantly contrasting with the dark background of the dial.

The strap, visible in the photo, is black with a textured appearance evoking a crocodile or lizard pattern, which enhances the chic and retro aspect of the piece. The slightly curved shape of the strap gives an impression of suppleness and fineness, typical of elegant watches from the 1970s. The strap fastening system is not visible in this image.

The case features a brilliant finish with golden reflections on the edges, highlighting the refined character of this piece. The winding crown is positioned at 12 o'clock, an original stylistic feature, which accentuates the retro and atypical side of the model. No other buttons or complications are visible on the face shown.

The dial does not have numbered indices, but a simple gold frame surrounds the central part, reinforcing the minimalist and elegant aesthetic. The watch is photographed on a fluffy white background, highlighting the contrast between the dark shades of the strap and dial and the golden brilliance of the case.

The overall style, the typography of the signature, and the design of the dial strongly suggest manufacturing from the 1970s, a period marked by the experimentation of geometric shapes and sophisticated finishes in women's watchmaking.

Condition

Did you know? Octagonal case watches were very popular in the 1970s, particularly under the influence of great watch designers who explored new shapes to stand out from traditional round models. The use of handwritten signatures on the dial is also a guarantee of authenticity and distinction for certain limited series or designer collaborations.
