Approx. Measurements

Watch Face: ¾–1" Diameter

Bracelet Width: ⅜–½"

Condition

Vintage pre-owned condition with visible tarnishing, oxidation, surface scratches, and general age-related wear. Marcasite stones have not been professionally authenticated, and individual settings have not been fully inspected. Watch is untested for operation and accuracy. May require a battery replacement or servicing.

Historical Note

Marcasite jewelry gained widespread popularity during the Art Deco era of the 1920s and 1930s, particularly in decorative silver jewelry and ladies' wristwatches. Later quartz bracelet watches continued this tradition with intricate marcasite settings and vintage-inspired metalwork. The Japanese quartz movement suggests a later 20th-century production period.

Estimated Value

25–60
