AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
Men's wristwatch by Gilles d'Arley, featuring a quartz digital display, visible in the center of the dial. The case has a shiny metallic finish, is round in shape, with a bezel adorned with engraved Roman numerals, accentuating the classic look of the piece. The black dial contrasts with the "Gilles d'Arley" signature inscribed in gold letters and the word "QUARTZ" at the top of the dial, which adds a discreet touch of elegance and highlights the technology used.

The black strap has an embossed crocodile-like pattern and ends with a pin buckle with a light metallic finish, visible at the top of the image. The overall style of the watch is reminiscent of 1980s-1990s productions with its digital display integrated into a classic design, typical of this transitional period between traditional aesthetics and electronic modernity.

The rectangular digital dial is currently off or non-functional in the photo, which corresponds to the mention "untested" in the original title. The case shows some signs of wear and a slight patina, particularly on the bezel and around the dial, common elements on vintage watches. The hands are not visible, confirming exclusively digital operation.

The inscriptions are legible on the front: "QUARTZ" at the top and "Gilles d'Arley" at the bottom of the dial. No other markings or serial numbers are visible on the photographed face. The whole is photographed flat on an orange surface, highlighting the contrast between the watch and the background.

Condition
Used watch, sold as is, untested. Presence of light to moderate wear visible on the case and strap. The digital display is not lit in the photo, which does not guarantee its functionality.

Did you know? Digital display watches appeared in the 1970s and experienced a boom in the 80s-90s. They marked the arrival of electronics in traditional watchmaking, with models combining classic design and quartz technology, as evidenced by this Gilles d'Arley model.
