Womens Watch Head Appraisal

Orient Quartz Watch Face (Head Only)

This item is the head of an Orient Quartz watch, specifically designed for individuals. It features a circular, gold-toned metal casing, which appears to be brass or a similar alloy with a gold plating given its somewhat dulled finish. The watch face is a clean, off-white or cream color, contrasting with the slender black hour and minute markers, which are simple lines. The hands are also black, with a baton style for the hour and minute hands, and a thin stick design for what appears to be the seconds hand, though it is currently positioned near the hour hand. Above the center of the dial, the brand name 'ORIENT' is clearly printed in black, with 'QUARTZ' directly below it in a smaller font, indicating the movement type. A notable feature is a small, possibly diamond-shaped or faceted clear stone/gem set at the 12 o'clock position, adding a touch of elegance. Below the center, 'WATER RESIST' is printed, suggesting a degree of water resistance for the original complete watch. There are small, almost illegible markings at the very bottom edge of the dial, possibly indicating the movement origin or model number. The watch lacks a crown, strap, or case back, indicating it is an incomplete unit, perhaps removed from its original strap or intended for repair/repurposing. The gold-toned casing shows some minor surface wear and possibly some light tarnishing consistent with age or use. The crystal appears relatively clear but its condition cannot be fully assessed without closer inspection. This watch head likely dates from the late 20th century, common for quartz movements of this style and branding.
