Women's vintage quartz watch for restoration, retro metallic-look wide strap

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Women's analog display wristwatch, vintage style, presented here on a white stand. The light-colored rectangular dial displays "Quartz" and "Geneva" at the top, indicating a quartz movement. The dial design is minimalist, with only one visible graduation at the bottom and two hands (hour and minute), no second hand.

The case and bracelet appear to be a single unit, with a shiny, hammered or lightly textured finish. The bracelet is wide, rigid, and articulated, typical of jewelry models from the 1980s-1990s, and has a silver metallic appearance. The visible hinges between the plates give the watch a structured and geometric look, emphasizing its retro aesthetic.

The watch shows signs of use: micro-scratches, surface marks, and plating wear on the upper part of the bracelet. No additional decoration or patterns are visible on the front face. The setting crown is discreet and small, located on the right side of the case.

The dial, protected by a rectangular crystal, does not show any clearly visible brand inscription other than "Geneva." No hour markers or numerals are present, reinforcing the clean style. The overall impression evokes both a wrist jewelry piece and a utilitarian watch, with a resolutely retro aesthetic.

This model has not been tested and requires restoration or battery replacement for optimal use. It is an old model, ideal for vintage watch enthusiasts to restore to working order or to accessorize an outfit with a characterful piece.

Did you know? Rigid bangle-style watches, popular in the 1980s and 1990s, were designed to be worn as jewelry, combining functionality and elegance. The term "Geneva" does not always indicate Swiss origin, but often evokes a style inspired by the Genevan watchmaking tradition.
