Villeruese Ladies' Gold-Tone and White Leather Strap Watch

This is a Villeruese ladies' manual winding watch, characterized by its elegant oval-shaped dial and gold-tone case. The watch face is a clean white or off-white color, displaying the 'Villeruese' brand name prominently at the 12 o'clock position, accompanied by a distinct 'VW' logo. Below the center, printed in a small font, are the inscriptions '17 JEWELS' and 'INCABLOC', indicating the movement's jewel count and shock protection system, respectively. A tiny 'SWISS' mark is visible near the 6 o'clock position, signifying Swiss origin. The hour and minute hands are simple, black baton-style, and there is no visible second hand, suggesting a two-hand movement. The gold-tone oval bezel features decorative black rectangular markers at most hour positions, creating a striking contrast. The watch case appears to be made of a polished gold-tone metal, possibly plated, showing some minor wear consistent with use but no significant damage or tarnishing. The crown on the right side of the case is fluted, suggesting an original design intended for manual winding and time setting. The watch is attached to a light-colored, likely off-white or cream, leather strap, which shows some signs of wear and creasing from use, particularly near the lugs where it connects to the case. The watch's overall aesthetic points to a style popular from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s to 1970s, reflecting a classic dress watch design. The craftsmanship appears to be of reasonable quality for a fashion or mid-range timepiece of its era, with legible dial printing and a well-finished case. No significant scratches or cracks are visible on the crystal from the provided image.
