AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This men's wristwatch features a typical vintage style, with a matte metallic finish case and a silver dial with a satin sheen. The dial is adorned with gold Roman numeral hour markers at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock, giving it a characteristic retro elegance. The dauphine-style hands are also light-colored, making it easy to read the time. The brand name "QUARTZ" is visible below the 12 o'clock marker, indicating a quartz movement (battery not tested and not guaranteed to be functional).
The case has a rounded shape with four visible screws on the bezel, reinforcing the robust and masculine appearance of the piece. The case finish shows some signs of wear and a natural patina, typical of an old, used watch. The dial crystal appears to have some scratches and signs of use.
The black textile strap is original or an old replacement and shows significant wear, including visible fraying and a patina due to age. It is fitted with a classic pin buckle, color-matched to the case. The watch as a whole displays an authentic and retro look, ideal for restoration or refurbishment projects.
The dial inscriptions are partially legible; the rest are erased or obscured by wear. No logo or brand other than "QUARTZ" is visible on the photographed face. No details of the case back or internal mechanism are visible in the provided photo.
The watch is photographed on a white fabric, highlighting the contrast between the silver dial and the dark strap. The overall appearance evokes productions from the 1980s-1990s, though the exact period cannot be specified without further information.
