Gents Wristwatch Appraisal

Masonic Symbol Dial Wristwatch

This item is a wristwatch featuring a distinctive Masonic symbol on its dial, presenting a dark and possibly masculine aesthetic. The watch case and bracelet appear to be constructed from a dark, possibly black-coated metal or ceramic, exhibiting a glossy finish that reflects light. The overall color scheme is predominantly dark, with striking gold-colored accents on the watch face. The dial is black, providing a strong contrast to the gold-toned hour markers and the central Masonic emblem. The hour markers are a combination of applied indices and Roman numerals, with the 'VI' and 'IX' clearly visible, suggesting a classic or traditional design influence. The gold-colored hands are prominent against the dark background. The most notable feature is the Square and Compasses symbol, a well-known emblem of Freemasonry, rendered in gold on the center of the watch face. This symbol indicates the watch is likely targeted towards members of the Masonic fraternity or those with an appreciation for its symbolism. The watch has a crown on the right side of the case, which is also gold-toned. The bracelet is a link-style band, matching the dark color and glossy finish of the watch case, and appears to be in good condition with no immediate signs of significant wear or damage visible from the provided image. The overall construction suggests a reasonably well-made timepiece, perhaps from the late 20th or early 21st century, given its relatively modern appearance and materials. The quality indicators include the uniform finish of the case and band, and the clearly defined details of the dial, particularly the Masonic symbol and hour markers.
