Vintage Ladies' Dress Watch with Brown Leather Strap

The item is a vintage ladies' dress watch featuring a square-shaped, silver-toned metal case. The case has slightly curved or softened corners, giving it a somewhat cushion or tonneau-inspired look, though predominantly square. It appears to be made of a polished metallic material, possibly stainless steel or chrome-plated base metal, and shows some minor surface scratches consistent with age and use. The dial is a light, possibly cream or champagne, color with Arabic numerals marking some of the hours (specifically visible are '12', '3', '4', '5', '7', '8', '9'). The remaining hours are marked by simple lines or dots. The hands are thin and silver-toned, with some luminescence visible. A small winder/crown is present on the right side of the case, suggesting a manual-wind or quartz movement. The watch is attached to a dark brown leather strap with a textured, possibly alligator or crocodile grain pattern, which exhibits significant wear, creasing, and darkening, particularly near the lugs and buckle. The stitching along the edges of the strap is visible, and the strap is secured by a silver-toned metal buckle, which also shows some wear. The overall aesthetic suggests an origin from the mid-20th century, likely between the 1940s and 1960s, a period known for distinct watch case shapes and ladies' dress watches. The watch's condition indicates regular use and a need for cleaning and potentially strap replacement to restore its original appearance.
