Microma Digital Wristwatch

This is a vintage Microma digital wristwatch, likely dating from the 1970s or early 1980s, characteristic of the early digital watch era. The watch features a rectangular gold-tone case with a brushed finish, giving it a satin-like appearance, which is common for gold-plated or gold-tone base metal constructions of the period. The watch face is black with 'MICROMA' printed boldly in white text above the central, rectangular LCD display. The LCD itself appears to be dark, suggesting it is either off, unpowered, or possibly non-functional, as no time or digits are visible. Two small, round pushers are visible on the right side of the case, typical for setting time, date, or activating functions on early digital watches. The watch is fitted with a matching gold-tone metal bracelet, featuring multiple flat, rectangular links that are also brushed to match the case. Condition-wise, there are visible signs of wear consistent with its age. There are several scratches on the brushed surface of the case, particularly noticeable on the upper left corner and minor nicks along the edges, revealing some of the underlying metal in places, which is common for plated items experiencing wear. The overall finish shows some patina and slight discoloration that is generally expected from vintage items. The functionality of the digital display cannot be assessed from the image alone, but its unlit state is a key observable condition. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced digital watches of its period, with attention given to the uniform brushed finish and integrated bracelet design, indicative of a mid-range consumer product.
