Men's vintage Chakar quartz watch, translucent case, water resistant

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Men's watch by the brand Chakar, displaying a characteristic vintage style. The case and strap are made of a translucent material with an amber appearance, revealing the internal structure, typical of watches from the late 20th century. The round dial features a white background, encircled by a vivid blue ring, and includes highly legible black Arabic numerals. The light-colored hands allow for quick time-telling. The mention "Quartz Water Resistant" appears at the bottom of the dial, indicating a quartz movement and water resistance. On the bezel, the inscription "WATER RESISTANT" is also visible, highlighting this technical characteristic.

The watch is equipped with a matching translucent strap, which fastens with a classic buckle. Several perforations are visible on the foreground part of the strap, allowing the watch to be adjusted to different wrist sizes. The overall design features a retro aesthetic, with generous volumes and rounded lines, reminiscent of popular models from the 1990s. No other ornamentation is visible on the presented face; the "Chakar" brand is stylized in the center of the dial.

The general condition shows visible signs of wear: light marks and patination on the strap and case, consistent with prolonged use. The transparency of the material reveals some duller areas, accentuating the watch's vintage character. No major chips or apparent cracks on the visible face, but the watch has not been tested for functionality. The style, color, and design evoke sporty and urban watches of the late 20th century, with a touch of whimsy thanks to the blue ring around the dial.

This watch will be perfect for those looking for a retro-look accessory, easy to pair with casual or sporty outfits. The translucent effect of the case and strap adds an original dimension, while highlighting the legible dial and the simplicity of the design.

Did you know? Watches with translucent cases saw a notable rise in popularity from the 1980s, particularly popularized by Swiss and international brands that democratized the use of colored and transparent plastics for everyday watches. This design aimed to make the watch more playful and accessible, while offering a modern alternative to traditional metal cases.
