Vintage Timex Automatic Men's Watch
This is a vintage men's automatic wristwatch, likely from the mid-20th century, possibly 1960s or 1970s, based on its design cues. The watch features a round, champagne-colored dial housed within a gold-toned, possibly gold-plated, cushion-shaped case. The hour markers are a combination of applied gold-toned rectangular indices at the cardinal points (3, 6, 9, 12) and smaller, square-dot indices for the remaining hours, all appearing to have a dark center insert. The hands are gold-toned dauphine or stick style, with a thin central seconds hand. A date window is prominently displayed at the 3 o'clock position, currently showing the number '16'. The text 'TIMEX' and a stylized 'T' logo are visible below the 12 o'clock marker, while 'AUTOMATIC' is printed above the 6 o'clock position. Below 'AUTOMATIC', smaller text indicating 'WATER RESISTANT' and 'SWISS MADE' is discernible. A small diamond-shaped logo or marker is also present near the 6 o'clock. The watch is fitted with a gold-toned, expandable metal bracelet, composed of narrow, interconnected links. The overall condition shows signs of age and wear; the gold plating on the case appears somewhat faded or tarnished in areas, and there might be minor scratches or scuffs on the crystal and case appropriate for its age. The crown is fluted and appears original. The design exhibits a classic, masculine aesthetic, typical of watches from its estimated period, emphasizing functionality and understated elegance.
