Vintage Timex Women's Gold-Tone Mechanical Watch

This item is a vintage Timex women's mechanical wristwatch, characterized by its petite, oval-shaped gold-tone case and matching gold-tone expansion bracelet. The watch features an analog dial with a cream or champagne color, displaying Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, with baton markers for the intervening hours. The hands are black, simple stick or dauphine style, indicating the time. The brand name 'TIMEX' is visible beneath the 12 o'clock marker. The watch case shows significant wear, particularly on the left side, where the gold plating appears to be worn off, revealing the base metal underneath. There are also visible scratches and minor tarnishing on various parts of the case and possibly the bracelet. The crystal appears somewhat domed and shows signs of scratching, although its clarity is still acceptable given its age. The expansion bracelet consists of multiple small, rectangular links, also in a gold tone, which exhibit some discoloration and potential wear. A small, fluted winding crown is present on the right side of the case. The overall aesthetic suggests a common style for women's watches from the mid-20th century, likely from the 1960s or 1970s. The watch exhibits typical signs of age and use, consistent with a utilitarian timepiece rather than a luxury item. Its condition indicates it would likely require servicing to ensure functionality, and its cosmetic state reflects a well-worn piece.
