Strada Multi-Color Millefiori Bezel Watch

This is a Strada brand wristwatch featuring a distinctive multi-color millefiori-style bezel. The watch has a round, polished gold-tone case and a classic black faux-alligator or textured leather strap with stitching, indicating a traditional watch design. The main dial is a light, possibly mother-of-pearl or off-white, surface with gold-toned Arabic numerals from 1 to 12. The brand name "STRADA" is prominently displayed in black font below the 12 o'clock position. The hands are also gold-toned, with a spade or leaf shape for the hour and minute hands, and a thin stick for the second hand. At the bottom of the dial, near the 6 o'clock position, small text reads "JAPAN MOVT", indicating a Japanese movement. The most striking feature is the wide bezel, which is adorned with numerous small, square or rectangular, multi-colored segments, each containing a delicate floral pattern. These segments are characteristic of millefiori glasswork, creating a vibrant and mosaic-like appearance around the dial. The watch appears to be in good, possibly new or display, condition, with no visible scratches or wear on the case or crystal. The strap also appears well-maintained. The overall aesthetic suggests a decorative, fashion-oriented timepiece, likely from a contemporary period, emphasizing visual appeal and a unique design over high horology. The craftsmanship of the millefiori inlay adds a unique, artisanal touch to an otherwise standard watch construction.
