Vintage Ladies' Silver-Tone Abalone Inlay Tank Watch

This is a vintage ladies' wristwatch featuring extensive abalone shell inlay on both the dial and the integrated bracelet. The timepiece consists of a rectangular, silver-toned metal case with vertical ribbing on the top and bottom borders, flanking a unique semi-transparet trapezoidal crystal. The dial is set with deep iridescent abalone, displaying vibrant hues of peacock blue, emerald green, and violet. It features minimalist gold-toned handset hands without numerical markers. The tapered bracelet is constructed of individual rectangular metal links, each meticulously inlaid with matching abalone shell segments. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century fashion piece, likely from the 1970s or 1980s, influenced by Southwestern or coastal organic styles. In terms of condition, there is visible surface wear to the metal plating, revealing base metal in some localized areas, and light scratches on the crystal surface. The abalone inlays appear largely intact, though they show natural variations in texture and some slight edges chipping consistent with age and wear. No manufacturer marks are visible from the primary angle, but the watch likely houses a quartz movement standard for fashion jewelry of this era.
