Louis Arden Quartz Fashion Watch

This is a contemporary ladies' fashion wristwatch by the brand Louis Arden. The timepiece features an unusual off-center rectangular stainless steel or chrome-plated case characterized by high-polish surfaces and a wide, prominent bezel. The watch face is small and elongated, featuring a white dial with stylized black Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions, alongside simple black hour and minute hands. The dial specifically mentions 'Louis Arden' below the 12 and 'QUARTZ' above the 6, with small 'Japan Movt' text at the very bottom, indicating a Japanese quartz movement housed within a likely Chinese-assembled case. The construction includes a unique horizontal bar or 'lug' extension on the left side of the case, which allows the wide white leather-textured strap to pass through it, creating a cuff-like aesthetic. The strap itself is a wide, white synthetic or genuine leather band with a prominent crocodile or alligator grain embossing and visible stitching near the buckle area. In terms of condition, the metal case shows significant surface scratching and micro-abrasions consistent with frequent wear, particularly on the flat polished surfaces. There is some visible grime and light wear appearing on the white strap, which is prone to discoloration. The crystal appears intact but may have minor superficial scuffs. This is a typical mid-range fashion accessory from the late 1990s to early 2000s, designed for visual impact rather than horological complexity.
