AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Men's wristwatch from the brand Norwich Union, with an analog display. This model features a rectangular case, with a metallic-looking finish on the visible bezel. The dial is light-colored, with black Arabic numerals (12, 3, 6, 9) and the "NORWICH UNION" marking centered below the 12. The hands are of a simple, black style, with a thin second hand. The overall appearance evokes a classic design, typical of promotional or corporate watches from the late 20th century.

The visible strap is black, with a smooth finish, showing significant signs of wear and cracking along its exposed length. The condition of the strap suggests prolonged use, with a surface that has lost some of its coating. The strap attachment, buckle, and back are not visible in the provided photo.

The watch is photographed on a beige textile background, highlighting the contrast between the light-colored case and the dark strap. No decorative patterns or engravings are visible on the exposed face of the case or dial, apart from the brand and numbers. The dial glass shows some superficial marks or scratches visible in the light.

The general style of this Norwich Union watch, associated with its quartz movement (mentioned in the keywords), corresponds to a production likely from the 1990s-2000s, a period when this type of simple and rectilinear design was common for corporate or promotional watches. The battery needs to be changed as indicated in the keywords, which is typical for this type of quartz model.
