Vintage Tonneau-Shaped Wristwatch
This is a vintage tonneau-shaped wristwatch featuring a rose-tone or gold-tone cushion case design, likely dating from the 1920s to 1930s. The watch face exhibits a cream or off-white dial with stylized Art Deco Arabic numerals. It includes a sub-second dial at the 6 o'clock position (partially obscured) and blued steel Cathedral-style hands. The case shows significant wear, with visible tarnishing, pitting, and oxidation consistent with its age, possibly indicating a gold-filled or plated composition. The dial displays a heavy patina with spotting and discoloration across its surface. It is mounted on a worn, dark brown textured leather strap that appears to be a later replacement, showing significant cracking and dryness. The crown is located at the 3 o'clock position and appears original. The overall construction suggests an early mass-produced mid-tier timepiece from the early 20th century. Measurement appears to be approximately 25-30mm in width, typical for men's watches of that era, which are now considered mid-size or unisex.
