Cherokee-brand analog wrist watch with leather strap

This item appears to be a small analog wrist watch with a two-tone round case and a brown leather strap. The watch face is champagne or light-gold in color and features black Roman numeral hour markers encircling the dial. The dial bears a printed logo reading "CHEROKEE", positioned below the twelve o'clock marker. Three black hands indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds. The case construction appears to be a base metal with a silver-toned finish, accented by a gold-toned bezel ring. A silver-toned crown is located at the three o'clock position. The brown leather-style strap shows visible signs of wear, including creasing near the adjustment holes and slight discoloration, consistent with a pre-owned vintage accessory. The crystal displays some light surface scratches and dust accumulation. Without physical inspection, the movement type is unknown, though watches of this aesthetic and brand are consistent with quartz movements from the late 20th century. The buckle matches the silver-toned finish of the case. Identification as a Cherokee-brand item is based on the legible dial marking, though such logos are unverified by a specialist for authenticity based on photos alone.

Based on what I can see in the provided image, I have evaluated this wrist watch which bears a mark consistent with the 'Cherokee' brand. The watch features a two-tone base metal case and a quartz-style aesthetic typical of mid-to-late 20th-century mass-market timepieces. While the dial suggests a specific brand identification, I cannot verify this from a photo alone; visible markings can be misleading and require physical inspection to confirm. My estimate is based on the working hypothesis that the piece is a genuine Cherokee accessory in its current pre-owned condition. The seen wear on the leather strap and surface scratches on the crystal indicate regular use, which typically limits demand to the vintage decorative market rather than the horological investment market. General market behavior for non-luxury quartz watches of this type suggests they function primarily as budget-friendly fashion accessories. I can't verify the movement's functionality or the casing's metal composition without a hands-on examination; if the movement is non-functional or the case shows significant plating loss, the value would likely drop to the lower end of the range or less. To confirm the identity and quality of this item, an in-person assessment by a watchmaker and verification of internal markings would be necessary. If this item were discovered to be a generic imitation of the brand or 'in the style of' without a functional quartz movement, it would hold negligible secondary market value, likely under five dollars.
