Restoration Thoughts / Notes:
- The faux diamond marker at 12 o’clock captures the jewelry-inspired styling trends of the late 1990s without the cost of a true gemstone.
- Waltham, once a prestigious American manufacturer, had by this era shifted into producing fashionable quartz watches under licensing agreements, making these pieces a snapshot of the brand’s later history.
- The stretch bracelet design is emblematic of convenience watches from the 80s and 90s, allowing the wearer to slip it on without dealing with clasps or buckles.
