AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
Men's wristwatch from the brand James, featuring an LCD quartz digital display. The rectangular dial is framed by a bezel with a silver metallic appearance, showing visible patina and signs of wear. The dial bears the inscription "JAMES" at the top, and "LCD QUARTZ", "HOUR MIN", "MONTH DATE" at the bottom, indicating the presence of several electronic functions (hours, minutes, month, date). The LCD screen is off or not functional in the photo, which corresponds to the "untested" status of the item.

The case has a slightly tonneau shape, typical of digital watches produced between the late 1970s and early 1980s. The finish of the case and bracelet has a silver metallic appearance, with no precise material indicated in the photo or keywords, but with a brushed surface on the bracelet and a polished surface on the case. The bracelet consists of large articulated links, also with a metallic appearance, featuring an alternation of matte and glossy surfaces depending on the angle of the light.

The watch is presented on a dark blue display case, which highlights the sobriety of its retro design. No additional logos or decorations are visible on the front face. The adjustment button is positioned on the right side of the case, in accordance with the classic layout of digital watches from this period.

The overall style clearly evokes the popular electronic watches of the late 20th century, with a clean and functional design, typical of the first generations of LCD digital display watches. The entire watch, bracelet and case, shows signs of wear, including scratches, scuff marks, and some apparent oxidation spots on the bezel.

Condition

Did you know? The first LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) watches appeared in the early 1970s and revolutionized watchmaking thanks to their low energy consumption and their ability to display multiple digital information, such as time, date, and sometimes even alarms or chronometers.
