AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
Men's wristwatch from the FENT brand, featuring a vintage design typical of the 1980s-1990s. The round, black dial has a matte finish with silver baton markers and three white hands (hour, minute, second). The "FENT" brand is clearly visible below the 12 o'clock position, while "QUARTZ" appears at the bottom of the dial. The crystal shows several scratches and a visible chip at the bottom. The bezel and case, in a dark tone, show noticeable wear, accentuating the retro character of this piece.
The black strap features a checkered texture on the visible part, adding a graphic touch characteristic of watches from the late 20th century. The metal pin buckle has a light finish, probably chrome-plated metal, and appears to be original. The relatively thin case integrates harmoniously with the strap for a sober and masculine look.
The winder, positioned at 3 o'clock, is gold-colored, contrasting slightly with the rest of the watch. No other markings or decorations are visible on the front. The ensemble evokes a minimalist style watch, true to the spirit of vintage quartz watches, with a functional and clean aesthetic.
The dial remains legible despite the marks of time. The hands and markers are intact, with no visible oxidation in the photo. The strap shows some signs of wear but retains its shape and fastening system. This watch, untested, is offered for revision for operational restoration or decorative use.
Condition
Used watch, sold as-is. Numerous scratches and a chip on the crystal, noticeable patina on the case, visible wear on the strap. Mechanism untested, revision required. Sold without guarantee of functionality.
Did you know? Quartz watches revolutionized watchmaking in the 1970s-1980s thanks to their precision and reduced production cost, making wristwatches accessible to a wide audience. The FENT brand, though sparsely documented, illustrates the diversity of European quartz watch manufacturers at that time.
