Futura Watch Appraisal

Futura Women's Quartz Watch with Faux Pearl and Chain Dangle Bracelet

This is a vintage Futura women's quartz watch featuring a striking gold-tone case. The watch face is relatively small and round, framed by a bezel intricately adorned with small, round, white faux pearls, giving it a delicate and ornate appearance. The dial is crafted from iridescent mother-of-pearl, subtly reflecting light and adding a touch of elegance. The brand name 'FUTURA' is clearly visible at the 12 o'clock position, with 'QUARTZ' printed below, indicating its movement type. The hour and minute hands are simple, slender gold-tone dauphine or stick hands, with no visible second hand in the provided image. The most distinguishing feature of this timepiece is its unique bracelet design. Instead of a conventional strap, it boasts a multi-strand arrangement composed of interconnected gold-tone chain links and strings of small, uniformly sized white faux pearls. These strands cascade downwards from the watch case, forming a dangle or tassel-like effect that extends around the wrist. The pearls appear to be glued or set into metal caps that are then linked to the chains. The overall condition appears good for a vintage piece, exhibiting a clean dial and no obvious major damage to the case or pearls, though some minor wear consistent with age and use might be present on the gold-tone finish or faux pearls upon closer inspection. The style suggests a decorative, fashion-forward accessory from a mid-to-late 20th-century period, likely designed to complement formal or semi-formal attire.
