Overview
The dial is clearly marked 'Remington' and 'QUARTZ' with 'JAPAN MOVT', confirming a modern Japanese quartz movement. The configuration includes a white dial with Arabic numerals, a base metal case with a compass bezel, and a brown leather protective snap case.
Story
Remington is a well-known American brand primarily associated with firearms and outdoor gear. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the brand name was licensed for various mass-market accessories, including utility and field watches featuring reliable, inexpensive Japanese quartz movements. The secondary market for mass-market quartz utility watches is highly saturated and driven by practical use rather than horological collectibility. Buyers are typically looking for inexpensive, durable outdoor or work watches.
Maker / Origin
Remington
Condition & Value
The watch and leather case show moderate wear consistent with utility use. The leather snap case has visible scuffing but appears structurally intact. The dial and crystal appear clean, but the running condition and battery status are unknown, which is typical for estate-found quartz watches.
Full Research
Sold comps, value drivers, and venue guidance pulled from recent auction results.
The secondary market for mass-market quartz utility watches is highly saturated and driven by practical use rather than horological collectibility. Buyers are typically looking for inexpensive, durable outdoor or work watches. Items in this tier move steadily but at low price points, primarily on platforms like eBay, Poshmark, and Mercari.
▲ Included original leather protective snap case adds utility appeal and completeness.
▲ Recognizable outdoor brand name (Remington) attracts buyers looking for field accessories.
▲ Verified Poshmark sale of an identical configuration at $30 establishes a solid market ceiling.
▼ Unknown running condition — if the movement is damaged rather than just needing a battery, value drops to nominal parts value.
▼ Visible wear to the leather casing limits the appeal for buyers seeking mint-condition gifts.
Best Venue
Bundle this item with other lower-value watches or outdoor accessories from the estate to maximize shipping efficiency and lot appeal. If selling individually, list on eBay or Poshmark with a fast-sale price of $15-$20, clearly noting that it is untested and likely needs a new battery.
Upside Potential
If a fresh battery is installed and the watch keeps accurate time, it could reliably achieve the high end of the range ($30-$35) as a functional, ready-to-use field watch. There is no realistic upside beyond this tier for mass-market quartz watches.
