Marina Watch Appraisal

Luminor Marina Quartz Analog Watch

The item is a casual analog watch, likely a men's model, featuring a round, brushed silver-tone metal case. The watch face is also a brushed silver color, creating a monochrome appearance with a sunburst finish that radiates from the center. It has large, luminescent Arabic numeral hour markers, primarily in a light green or aqua hue, with the 12, 10, 8, 7, and 5 clearly visible, while other numerals are partially obscured or indicated by position. The minute and hour hands are also luminescent, with a black border, and there appears to be a thin seconds hand, possibly black or dark blue. The watch bears the text 'LUMINOR MARINA' printed below the 12 o'clock position, suggesting a potential connection to a known watch style popularized by Panerai, though this specific model may be a homage or a different brand altogether. The bezel is fixed and appears to be integrated with the case, featuring small, circular indentations or applied studs at each hour mark, giving it a somewhat rugged or utilitarian aesthetic. A fluted crown is visible on the right side of the case. The case shows signs of wear, including minor scratches and scuffs consistent with regular use. The crystal appears relatively clear but may have some smudges or light scratching. The watch is missing its strap or band, as only the spring bars for attachment are visible between the lugs, indicating it is currently not wearable without a replacement band. The overall condition suggests a pre-owned item that has been worn, but without significant structural damage visible from the provided image. The construction appears to be a standard two or three-piece case design for a quartz movement watch. It likely dates from the late 20th or early 21st century given its contemporary styling. The legibility of the dial is a strong feature due to the large, contrasting numerals.
