The exterior of the clasp is embossed with a serif letter B. The interior of the clasp is stamped STAINLESS STEEL.

This quartz movement timepiece requires a battery. Case width: 1.6 inches. The watch is in used condition with visible signs of wear throughout. The crystal has several noticeable scratches, including a cluster of fine scratches near the center (photo 1). The bezel and case show significant surface scuffing and scratches, with some thinning of the gold-tone plating on the raised sections (photo 2). The bracelet links exhibit widespread surface scratches and scuffs from regular use (photo 8). The case back has several deep linear scratches, likely from previous battery replacement attempts (photo 7). The movement is currently not running.
