AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description Vintage-style men's wristwatch with a quartz movement, presented here in antique condition. The case features a silver metallic finish, with a round bezel and tapered lugs. The dial is matte silver, displaying raised round hour markers and Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. The hands are baton-style, also silver-toned, with a central seconds hand. The dial shows some visible wear marks and stains, typical of an unrestored antique item. The inscription "QUARTZ" is legible at the bottom of the dial, with no other apparent markings.

The visible strap is dark-colored, with an aged appearance, featuring noticeable patina and significant wear on the upper part. The texture suggests a synthetic or natural material, but no precise indication is given. The watch is missing an attachment on one of the lugs, making the strap incomplete on the case side.

The crystal protecting the dial appears slightly scratched, with some visible marks under light. The crown is classic, positioned at 3 o'clock, with no distinctive signs. The overall watch suggests manufacturing from the second half of the 20th century, in a sober and utilitarian style, typical of retro men's quartz models.

Condition Used item sold as is, untested, for restoration. Visible wear on the dial, crystal, and strap. Presence of stains, scratches, and pronounced patina. Incomplete strap. Requires refurbishment or use for spare parts.
