Gold-Toned Hunter Case Pocket Watch with Quartz Movement

This item is an antique or vintage gold-toned pocket watch, likely a hunter case style given the hinged cover over the dial, which is currently open. The watch features a classic round shape with a polished metallic finish, appearing to be brass, gold-plated, or gold-filled, rather than solid gold, though a closer inspection would be required to confirm the material. The dial is white or off-white, featuring clear black Arabic numerals for hour markers and thin black hands. A sub-dial for seconds is visible at the 6 o'clock position. The word 'QUARTZ' is faintly visible on the dial, indicating that this watch is likely a quartz movement rather than a mechanical one, which is uncommon for true antique pocket watches and suggests a later vintage or a modern reproduction/homage. It is attached to a matching gold-toned snake chain, which appears to be of a similar material to the watch case. The overall condition appears good with a visible patination consistent with age and use, but no obvious dents or major scratches are discernible from the image. The hinge mechanism for the cover seems functional as it is shown in an open position. The presence of 'QUARTZ' on the dial is a significant detail that places its manufacturing details with a strong probability after the 1960s, rather than a true 19th or early 20th-century antique mechanical piece. The construction appears standard for a pocket watch of this type, with a robust case designed to protect the delicate internal mechanism.
