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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
