AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Men's watch from the brand Royall, featuring a distinctive vintage style. The round dial has a clear finish, with gold hour markers and the "Royall" and "QUARTZ" markings clearly visible. The hands, also gold, are baton-shaped, accompanied by a slender central second hand. The case has a visually two-tone finish: the bezel appears to have a tarnished metallic look, while the lugs and crown are gold-toned.

The strap, with a dark brown appearance, features a crocodile-embossed pattern, typical of watches from past decades. The gold-colored pin buckle is simple and functional. The overall aesthetic is classic, highlighted by the play of light on the dial and strap surface.

The watch is photographed on a light background, showcasing the patina of the case and the visible wear on the strap. No back or reverse side is visible in the photo, in accordance with the presentation. The dial does not feature numerals, only thin gold hour markers for each hour, accentuating the clean and retro style of this piece.

Some signs of wear are visible on the bezel and lugs, with marks of oxidation or tarnishing, typical of an old item needing restoration. The strap also shows signs of use and creases, suggesting prolonged wear. The overall condition is as-is, consistent with an untested vintage item sold for restoration or for parts.

The "QUARTZ" marking on the dial indicates a quartz movement, but no functional tests have been performed. The item is strictly described based on the visible side in the photo, without estimation of dimensions or thickness.

Did you know? Quartz watches, popularized from the 1970s onwards, revolutionized watchmaking due to their precision and lower manufacturing cost compared to mechanical watches. The term "quartz" refers to the crystal used as an oscillator to regulate the movement.
