Black Watch Appraisal

Stainless Steel Wristwatch with Black Dial

This is a stainless steel wristwatch, likely a men's or unisex model given its robust appearance. The watch features a classic round case with a dark, possibly black, dial. The bezel is unidirectional, common for dive watches, and appears to be made of polished stainless steel, marked with numerical indicators at 10-second intervals (e.g., '30', '40'). The dial has luminous dot hour markers and Arabic numerals at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions. The hands are silver-toned with what appears to be luminous infill. Subtle text is visible on the lower half of the dial, likely indicating the movement type ('Automatic' or 'Quartz') and water resistance, although the exact wording is difficult to discern from the image. A date window might be present, possibly at the 3 o'clock position, but it is not clearly visible. The watch is attached to a three-link stainless steel bracelet with a polished finish on the center links and brushed outer links, indicating a combination of finishes for visual appeal. The overall condition appears used but well-maintained, with some minor surface scratches visible on the polished components of the bracelet and bezel, consistent with regular wear. There are no obvious signs of significant damage or repairs. The crown is located on the right side of the case. The style suggests it could be a sports or dive watch from the late 20th or early 21st century, possibly from a reputable Swiss brand given the apparent quality of construction.
