Men's vintage watch square retro dial needs servicing old blue strap
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
Men's vintage-style watch, featuring a square dial with a patinated gold finish and a metallic-looking case. The watch has a characteristic retro design, with a visible setting crown on the right side. The dial displays three hands (hours, minutes, seconds) and simple hour markers, without numerals. A discreet inscription appears on the dial, but it is difficult to decipher in the photo.
The visible strap is light blue, with a textured, grained, or reptile-effect finish. The exposed side of the strap shows clear signs of wear, including discoloration and frequent signs of use along its entire length. The side stitching is apparent and appears original.
The square case shows patina and traces of oxidation around its perimeter, enhancing the authenticity of its antique appearance. The finish of the dial glass appears slightly dull, suggesting prolonged use. No other decorative elements or additional functions are visible on the photographed face.
The overall style of this watch evokes a production from the 1960s to 1970s, both by the shape of the case and by the choice of textured strap and pastel shade. The minimalist dial configuration is in line with the watchmaking trends of that period.

Did you know? Square dial watches experienced a real boom in the 1960s-1970s, a time when many watchmakers experimented with alternative shapes to the classic round dial to assert a modern and bold style. This type of design remains emblematic of mid-century watchmaking today.
