Vintage-Style Waltham Women's Quartz Cord Watch

This is a ladies' petite dress watch featuring an oval-shaped silver-tone case, likely base metal or silver-plated, adorned with a decorative bezel. The bezel is embellished with a halo of small clear stones, presumably rhinestones or crystals, which extend into floral or foliate-inspired lugs at the top and bottom. The dial is white with silver-tone stick indices and Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. The brand name 'WALTHAM' and 'QUARTZ' are clearly printed on the face. While styled after mid-century cocktail watches (circa 1940s-1950s), the quartz movement indicates a more modern manufacturing period, likely from the late 20th century. The watch is mounted on a slim black fabric cord strap, secured with silver-tone metal slide adjusters. Regarding condition, the metal shows minor surface scratches and slight dulling of the finish consistent with light wear. The stones appear intact, though their individual settings show some minor grime. The crystal appears clear with no major cracks. This piece mimics the high-end aesthetic of platinum and diamond heirlooms but uses cost-effective modern components, representing a mass-market bridge between fine jewelry and functional timekeeping.
