Vintage Avon Signed Quartz Two-Tone Greek Key Bangle Watch | Silver & Gold Tone | 1990s

Avon produced this wide hinged bangle watch at the height of the Greek key revival that ran through 1990s costume jewelry and home décor alike — the meander pattern cut through the silver-tone cuff in a continuous openwork band, framed by gold-tone rails that echo the rectangular case. The tank-style dial is clean and unadorned, the gold hands and Arabic numerals keeping pace with the boldness of the cuff. A strong-wristed, architectural piece that wears like a statement without trying to be one.

Materials Silver-tone and gold-tone base metal, stainless steel back, mineral crystal
