Quantum Watch Appraisal

Quantum Gold-Tone Quartz Analog Watch with Expansion Band

This item is a Quantum brand analog quartz wristwatch, featuring a classic round gold-tone case and a gold-tone dial. The dial itself is a light gold or champagne color, with black Arabic numerals marking the hours from 1 to 12. There are smaller black hash marks for minutes or seconds. The hands are also gold-tone, with a traditional hour, minute, and a slimmer second hand. The brand name "Quantum" is printed in black lettering below the 12 o'clock position, and "QUARTZ" is visible above the 6 o'clock position, indicating its movement type. The watch is attached to a flexible, silver-tone expansion bracelet, characterized by multiple parallel links that stretch to fit the wrist. The case appears to be made of a base metal with a polished gold-tone finish, showing some minor wear or scuffing consistent with regular use, particularly on the bezel. The crystal, while not perfectly clear in the image, doesn't show obvious major scratches or cracks. There is no visible corrosion or significant damage to the case or band that would suggest poor maintenance, though the band's silver-tone contrasts with the gold-tone case, which might indicate it's not the original band or a mixed metal design. The overall aesthetic suggests a common, mass-produced watch, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century, focusing on functionality and everyday wear rather than luxury.
