Timex Quartz Gold-Tone Women's Watch with Expansion Band

This item is a vintage Timex women's quartz wristwatch, featuring a gold-tone rectangular or barrel-shaped case and an integrated gold-tone expansion band. The watch face is a light gold or champagne color with a brushed or textured finish, possibly vertical stripes, and black Arabic numerals marking the hours. The 'TIMEX' brand name is visible below the 12 o'clock position, and 'QUARTZ' is printed closer to the 6 o'clock position, indicating its movement type. The hands appear to be black or dark-colored, with a slim hour and minute hand, and a very slender second hand. The watch has a prominent fluted crown on the right side of the case. The expansion band features multiple segmented links, suggesting a 'stretch' style. Visible condition issues include significant wear to the gold-tone plating, especially on the case edges and the band links, revealing a darker base metal underneath. The crystal appears scratched or scuffed, obscuring some details of the dial. The overall aesthetic suggests a late 20th-century (likely 1980s or 1990s) mass-produced fashion watch. The visible wear indicates a well-used item, and its base metal construction with plating suggests it was an affordable, everyday timepiece rather than a luxury item. The craftsmanship is typical of Timex for that era, focusing on functionality and accessible design.
