Vintage FENT quartz watch, steel bracelet, tonneau shape, untested condition

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

FENT brand quartz wristwatch, with a resolutely vintage design. The tonneau-shaped (rectangular with rounded corners) dial is white with silver hour markers, Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, and "QUARTZ" written at the bottom of the dial. The hands are stick-style, also silver-colored. The central seconds hand is present and visible.

The case has a rounded shape typical of retro watches, with a metallic finish and a patinated appearance. The bracelet, with large interlocking links, has a metallic appearance and shows visible traces of oxidation or wear on several links. The links are articulated and feature a distinctive geometric pattern, giving the whole a strong 90s or early 2000s style.

The dial is protected by a domed crystal, the surface of which shows some micro-scratches. The inscription "FENT" is clearly legible below the 12 o'clock marker. The setting crown is located on the right, of classic size for this type of quartz watch.

The watch is photographed against a neutral background, with only the front face and the upper part of the bracelet visible. No additional markings or logos appear on this face. The general condition shows signs of use, typical of an unrestored antique object.

Condition

Used watch, sold as is, untested. Shows visible signs of wear, particularly on the bracelet (traces of oxidation, scratches) and the case. The movement's functioning has not been verified.

Did you know? The tonneau design, popularized at the beginning of the 20th century, is often associated with discreet elegance and ergonomics, as it conforms better to the shape of the wrist than totally rectangular or round cases. The quartz watch, introduced on a large scale in the 1970s, revolutionized watchmaking with its precision and reliability, making this type of model accessible to a wider audience.
