Pulsar Appraisal

Pulsar Quartz Ladies’ Watch

This is a vintage ladies' wrist watch manufactured by Pulsar, featuring a quartz movement. The watch has an elegant, elongated oval-shaped case, likely made of gold-toned base metal, possibly gold-plated, as indicated by the overall aged appearance and the type of construction commonly found in watches of this style. The case exhibits a textured, almost brushed or finely granulated finish on its front, contrasting with the smooth polished bezel encircling the crystal. The dial is a light, possibly cream or champagne, color with minimalistic gold-toned markers for the hours, specifically double batons at the 12 o'clock position and single batons for the remaining hours. The brand name 'Pulsar' is printed below the 12 o'clock marker, and 'QUARTZ' is printed above the 6 o'clock position, signifying its movement type. The watch has two simple, gold-toned hands (hour and minute). There is no seconds hand visible. The watch is attached to an integrated or seamlessly designed gold-toned metal bracelet, which also features a fine, possibly textured or mesh-like pattern, consistent with the case finish. The band appears to be of a flexible, possibly adjustable, variety. The overall condition shows signs of age, including some minor wear and possibly tarnishing or fading of the gold tone on both the case and the band, particularly where it might have rubbed against surfaces or skin. There are no obvious deep scratches or significant damage discernible from the image, but detailed inspection would be needed to confirm. The style suggests it could date from the late 1970s to the 1980s, a period when quartz watches became highly popular and integrated bracelet designs were fashionable for women's watches. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for a mass-produced quartz watch of its era, prioritizing design over intricate mechanical artistry.
