Vintage Ultra Ladies Cocktail Watch with Integrated Chain Bracelet

This is a vintage ladies' cocktail watch by the brand Ultra, likely dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1960s). The timepiece features a very small circular stainless steel or silver-toned case, which is seamlessly integrated into a distinctive oversized curb-link chain bracelet. The dial is a silver sunburst or matte metallic finish, featuring simple applied baton hour markers and slim baton hands. Text on the dial includes 'ULTRA' and '17 JEWELS/INCABLOC', indicating a shock-protected mechanical movement. The construction is characterized by the fluid, organic shape of the thick links, which wrap around the petite watch face. In terms of condition, the metal shows a soft, aged patina with light surface scratching consistent with regular wear. There are no signs of major structural damage, though the crystal may have fine hairline scratches as is common for acrylic crystals of this era. The crown is original and petite. This style of 'jewelry-first' watch was highly popular for formal attire during the mid-century modern period, showcasing a blend of functional horology and bold, sculptural fashion design.
