Geneva Quartz Wristwatch

The item is a round-faced wristwatch with a metal band. The watch features a gold-toned dial with Roman numeral hour markers for the 'III', 'VI', 'IX', and 'XII' positions, and dot markers for the remaining hours. The brand name "GENEVA" is prominently displayed below the 'XII' marker, with "QUARTZ" inscribed beneath it. The hands appear to be a dark color, possibly black or dark blue, providing contrast against the gold dial. The watch case and the segmented link bracelet are silver-toned metal, possibly stainless steel or a plated base metal, given the visible wear. Some of the links in the bracelet show a dual-tone design, with what appears to be gold-toned or brass-toned inserts, suggesting a two-tone aesthetic, though this effect is somewhat muted by what appears to be oxidation or tarnishing. There is noticeable wear and tarnishing on both the watch case and the bracelet, particularly on the raised portions of the links, indicating regular use and age. The crystal covering the dial appears to be intact but its clarity cannot be fully assessed from the image. The overall impression is that of a mass-produced fashion watch, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, designed to offer a classic look. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for an affordable quartz watch, with no discernible high-end finishing or intricate details.
