Overview
This is a small collection of three distinct mid-to-late 20th-century wristwatches, representing the evolution of everyday timekeeping. The group includes a rugged Seiko Sports 150 quartz watch with a gold-tone dial, a classic Timex Indiglo field-style watch on an expansion band, and a vintage silver-tone ladies' bangle watch.
Story
In the late 20th century, the 'Quartz Revolution' democratized timekeeping, shifting watches from luxury heirlooms to highly accurate, everyday tools. These three pieces represent the diverse styles of that era, from rugged sports gear to elegant jewelry.
Maker / Origin
Seiko, founded in Tokyo in 1881, revolutionized the global watch industry by introducing the world's first production quartz watch in 1969. Timex, tracing its roots to the Waterbury Clock Company of 1854, became an American icon by making durable, affordable watches famous for 'taking a licking and keeping on ticking.'
Condition & Value
All three watches show moderate wear consistent with age and use, including surface scratching on the metal cases and crystals. The Seiko's bracelet shows some dirt buildup in the links, and all three likely require new batteries to test functionality. Untested movements slightly depress the immediate market value.
