Technos Tank Style Wristwatch Appraisal

Technos Tank Style Wristwatch

This is a vintage Technos tank-style wristwatch. The watch features a rectangular, slightly curved gold-toned case with integrated lugs, giving it a classic and elegant appearance. The dial is a light, possibly cream or champagne color, with dark Roman numeral hour markers (III, VI, IX, XII) and baton markers for the remaining hours. There are three hands visible, indicating hours, minutes, and seconds, all appearing to be in a dark or blued steel finish. The brand name 'TECHNOS' is clearly visible below the 12 o'clock position. The crown, though not clearly visible in detail, appears to be positioned on the right side of the case. The watch is fitted with a black, textured leather strap, possibly lizard or alligator grain, which appears to be in good condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age. The overall construction suggests a mid-20th century to late 20th-century style, characteristic of 'tank' watches popularized by Cartier. The gold-tone finish of the case shows some minor surface wear, particularly on the edges and lugs, which is typical for a watch of its age. There are no obvious deep scratches, dents, or significant damage visible that would indicate major impact. The crystal appears clear. The craftsmanship, while not haute horlogerie, seems solid for a reputable brand like Technos, known for producing reliable timepieces. The presence of a ruler in the background suggests it measures approximately 1.25 to 1.5 inches in width for the case, excluding the crown, based on the visible scale from 4 to 6 inches.
