Gitano Women's Quartz Bangle Watch

This is a Gitano branded women's quartz watch designed with an ornate, bangle-style band and bezel. The watch features a round, white dial with Roman numeral hour markers in black, and smaller black dash markers for minutes. The hour and minute hands are black, with a simple, slender design. The dial prominently displays 'GITANO' in black block letters above the center and 'Quartz' below it, also in black. Faint text 'JAPAN MOVT' is visible near the 6 o'clock position, indicating the movement's origin. The watch case and integrated band appear to be made from a silver-toned metal, possibly a base metal alloy, and exhibit a decorative, antique-inspired aesthetic. The bezel is encrusted with small, dark, faceted stones or beads, likely marcasite or a similar imitation, set into an intricate, filigree-like pattern. The lugs connecting the watch case to the band are also heavily ribbed or fluted, adding to the decorative appeal. The band itself is a rigid, open-cuff or bangle style, featuring elaborate, embossed or cast floral and scrollwork designs, characteristic of vintage or Victorian-revival jewelry. The overall condition appears to be good, with no overt signs of heavy wear or damage visible from the provided images, though some light surface scratches or tarnishing might be present on closer inspection due to its metallic construction and age. The style suggests it dates from the late 20th century, likely the 1980s or 1990s, when marcasite details and ornate silver-tone jewelry were popular. The craftsmanship is indicative of mass-produced fashion jewelry, prioritizing decorative appeal over high-end horological precision.
