Vintage multifunction chronograph style watch blue dial - untested
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description A vintage-style, chronograph-type multifunction watch, presented without a strap. The case features a silver-toned metallic finish, punctuated by gold details visible on the notched bezel (markings at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60), the crown, and the two side pushers. The main dial is dark blue, enhanced by three secondary light blue sub-dials, suggesting a multifunction display (dates, 24h, etc.), typical of chronograph models. The rectangular hour markers are luminescent, as are the gold-toned hands. A gold star motif appears at 12 o'clock, with no other identifiable brand logo on the visible face. The overall design evokes a sporting watch inspired by the 80s-90s, with a fully marked rotating bezel and baton-style hands.
The case shows visible signs of wear, including tarnishing and small scratches on the silvered surface, as well as a patina on the gold-toned parts. The overall appearance suggests an old item or one stored for several years, with homogeneous wear on the bezel and lugs. The crown and pushers are firmly in place, with no apparent deformation. No strap is attached, revealing the openworked lugs ready to receive a standard strap.
The dial offers clear readability, thanks to a strong contrast between the dark blue and light blue elements. The sub-dials show scales (days of the month, 24h, additional indication), reinforcing the chronograph and multifunction style. The main hour markers are highlighted in luminescent green, suitable for night reading. The absence of a brand or precise reference on the visible face suggests a generic model or an unsigned production, but the design is typical of "vintage sport" style watches.
The notched bezel, with apparent bidirectional rotation, bears gold embossed numbers at every ten-minute mark, confirming the diver/chronograph inspiration. The side pushers complete the expected functionality of this type of watch. The entire robust-looking case is highlighted by a contrast between polished and patinated areas.
The item is presented resting on a light cushion, on an ornate wooden stand, suggesting a decorative or presentation use. No case back is visible; only the front face is described here, in accordance with the provided photo.

Did you know? The multifunction design with sub-dials is characteristic of "chronograph" watches that appeared as early as the 1940s, popularized in subsequent decades for their utility in sports and aviation. Luminescent indexes, initially made with radium then tritium, are now most often made of safe photoluminescent material.
