Strada Watch Appraisal

Strada Men's Wristwatch

The item is a men's wristwatch, likely from the contemporary period (early 21st century) given its oversized design and aesthetic. The watch features a prominent black dial with a distinct sunburst or guilloche pattern emanating from the center, adding a dynamic texture. The hour markers are a combination of bold white Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, and white baton or block markers for the remaining hours. There are smaller minute/second markers around the outer edge of the dial, with '60' visible near the 12 position and '30' near the 6 position, suggesting a traditional 60-unit outer track. The watch hands appear to be white or silver-toned, contrasting against the black dial, with a sword or stick shape for the hour and minute hands. The brand name 'STRADA' is clearly visible below the 12 o'clock marker. The watch case is dark, possibly black or dark gray metal, with a substantial size that speaks to modern trends in watch design. A single crown is visible on the right side of the case for time adjustment. The watch is fitted with a dark brown, possibly leather or synthetic leather, strap that shows some signs of wear, particularly a slight dullness or scuffing on the surface, indicating it is not brand new but has been handled or worn. It is presented in a simple, generic grayish-brown cardboard watch box with a beige foam insert, suggesting it is either a new purchase or being stored. The overall construction appears solid, with clear legibility of the dial. While no obvious damage like cracks or major scratches are visible on the crystal, the strap's condition slightly detracts from a 'brand new' appearance, though this could also be part of a 'distressed' aesthetic. Quality indicators point towards a fashion watch, prioritizing style and visual presence over high-end horological complications.
