Alberto Zioro vintage quartz watch, black - For parts, no glass, strap

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This Alberto Zioro quartz movement wristwatch features a design characteristic of vintage models. The round dial has a black finish with gold indexes and "Alberto Zioro" inscribed in clearly legible gold letters on the upper part. "QUARTZ" is written at the bottom of the dial, confirming the type of movement. The hands, also gold, are visible but show signs of wear.

The watch case is dark in color, with a blackened bezel showing multiple signs of wear, scratches, and oxidation marks. The complete absence of glass on the dial is noteworthy, exposing the hands and interior to external elements. The bracelet, made of wide metallic-looking links, displays a marked patina and uniform wear, typical of heavily used antique watches.

The dial details reveal a distinctly retro style, with typography characteristic of 1970s to 1980s productions, although the absence of a precise date makes any assertion about the era uncertain. The entire watch, from the case to the bracelet, shows prolonged use and exposure to oxidation, reinforcing its vintage and utilitarian character.

The watch is placed on a beige presentation case, highlighting its dark contrasts and accentuating the metal's patina. No other accessories or elements are visible on the displayed face. No additional markings, logos, or engravings are apparent on the visible part of the bracelet or case.

The overall appearance suggests an item intended for salvage or restoration, as the crystal is missing and the general condition requires refurbishment. This model would be suitable for spare parts or a watch restoration project.

Condition

Used item sold as is, for parts or restoration. Missing crystal, marked wear on the dial, bezel, and strap. Not tested for functionality. Presence of scratches, oxidation marks, and pronounced patina throughout the visible parts.

Did you know? The mention "quartz" on a watch indicates a battery-powered movement, introduced on a large scale in the 1970s, revolutionizing watchmaking with its precision and reliability superior to traditional mechanical movements.
