Bi Metal Watch Appraisal

Bi-Metal World Timer Wristwatch with Textured Bezel

The item is a wristwatch, featuring a bi-metal design with a gold-tone case and a silver-tone bezel. The case appears to be round with a polished finish, showing some minor wear consistent with use. The bezel showcases an intricate, textured or engraved pattern, possibly with Roman numerals or decorative markers around its circumference, though specific details are difficult to discern from the image. The watch face is dark, likely black or dark blue, with gold-tone hands and what appears to be Roman numeral VI at the 6 o'clock position, and possibly Roman numeral XII at the 12 o'clock position. There are also smaller, possibly Arabic numerals or indices around the inner dial, suggesting a world time or city display complication, indicated by the 'WORLD TIMER' text on the dial. The crown, located on the right side of the case, is gold-toned. The watch is fitted with a brown leather strap that exhibits a croc-embossed or lizard-skin texture. The strap shows visible signs of wear, including creasing and possibly some darkening from age and use, particularly near the lugs and where it would typically buckle. The stitching along the edges of the strap appears even, suggesting reasonable quality. Overall, the watch presents a vintage aesthetic, likely dating from the late 20th century, possibly 1980s or 1990s, given the 'world timer' function and design elements. No apparent maker's marks or specific model numbers are visible in the provided image, precluding precise identification of the manufacturer.
