Men's vintage Albion quartz watch, white dial, aged leather-look strap

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Albion men's watch, with a quartz movement, presented here in a decidedly vintage style. The round case features a gold finish, with a visible patina on the edge, characteristic of older models. The white dial offers excellent readability thanks to large black Arabic numerals and thin hands. A date window is visible at three o'clock, indicating an appreciated additional functionality on this type of retro watch.

The dark-colored strap has a textured, leather-like appearance, with a gold-colored buckle matching the case. Small lighter spots are visible on the strap, indicating past use and reinforcing the overall antique character. The inscription "Albion" appears below the 12 o'clock marker, and "Quartz" is written above the 6 o'clock marker, confirming the battery-powered technology (battery to be changed, as noted in the keywords).

The overall design, very simple and classic, is reminiscent of watches produced between the 1970s and 1990s, with a typical retro aesthetic: a clean dial, clearly marked numerals, and a strong visual contrast between the gold case and the dark strap. No additional decorative patterns are visible, the style remaining deliberately functional and timeless.

The watch is photographed in a white-bottomed box, surrounded by burgundy fabric, which highlights the golden hue of the case and the simplicity of the strap. No other accessories or decorative elements are visible on the presented face.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Signs of wear on the strap (small visible spots), patina on the case. The battery needs to be replaced (watch non-functional to date). The overall item has an authentic appearance, typical of old models.

Did you know? Quartz watches revolutionized watchmaking from the 1970s onwards, making highly accurate and reliable timekeeping possible at a lower cost. The date window, which appeared as early as the 1940s, became a standard on many models from the 70s-80s, combining functionality and ease of use.
