Vintage Miranda Waterproof Mechanical Men's Wristwatch

This is a vintage mid-century men's wristwatch featuring a circular gold-toned case, likely gold-plated or gold-filled base metal. The dial is a sunburst champagne or silver tone with applied gold-toned baton hour markers and a double baton at the 12 o'clock position. It features original gold-toned dauphine hands. The dial is signed 'MIRANDA' at the top and 'WATERPROOF' at the bottom. The watch is fitted with a period-correct gold-toned expansion 'Speidel-style' stretch bracelet featuring an embossed S-curve decorative pattern on each link. The crystal appears to be domed acrylic. The overall styling suggests a manufacturing date between the late 1950s and mid-1960s. Regarding condition, the piece shows significant signs of age and wear. There is visible brassing and plating loss on the lugs, crown, and high points of the expansion band, revealing the base metal beneath. The dial shows minor spotting and oxidation consistent with a 'tropical' patina. The crystal exhibits light surface scratches but remains clear enough for legibility. While labeled 'Waterproof', this is a historical designation and should not be considered functional by modern standards. The craftsmanship is typical of mid-market Swiss or Japanese movements of the era, designed for everyday durability and classic aesthetic appeal.
