"Christian Dior" 80's-90's Gold plated wristwatch

"Christian Dior"
Late 80s–mid 90s gold-plated bracelet watch

Since our founding, with elegance at its core, and still loved today as a true symbol of luxury—here we introduce a standout piece with an exquisite, dazzling design from Christian Dior.

Combining a presence reminiscent of fine jewelry with the refinement of a classic timepiece, this is a piece you can incorporate into everyday life like an accessory.

The entire watch is crafted from lustrous yellow-gold-toned gold-plated metal. From the engravings “Plaqué or G 10M” visible on the case back and the underside of the buckle, it is readable as a 10-micron gold-plating specification—so even with a light wearing feel, you can enjoy the vibrancy characteristic of a vintage watch along with an elegant sense of weight.

On the dial, which appears from white to ivory tones, the text “Christian Dior PARIS” is printed. Near the 6 o’clock position, you can see the marking “SWISS MADE.” With black Roman numeral indexes and slender hands creating a well-balanced, poised look, the contrast with the decorative gold-colored case and bracelet results in a beautifully unified balance of legibility and dressy sophistication.

The case has a compact to medium size with a rounder silhouette, while the bracelet portion features a multi-link metal design with finely detailed components and a high level of ornamentation. It gently conforms to the wrist while remaining supple, and because the CD logo engraving is placed on the buckle surface, there is an iconic Maison-like lingering impression within its understated proportions.

Regarding the era: the fact that “Christian Dior PARIS” and “SWISS MADE” are visible on both the dial and case back, that there are engravings indicating the gold-plating specification on the case back and buckle, and that the overall design—white-toned dial with Roman numeral indexes, CD-marked crown, and a decorative multi-link bracelet—aligns with the trend of Swiss license fashion watches from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s. It can therefore be said to capture the mood of that time very distinctly.

While it is a luxury wristwatch, its size is not overly assertive and the dial’s classic expression makes it appealing—not only with jacket and shirt styles, but also when paired with simple knits or dresses, it will refine your look right at the wrist. We especially recommend it for anyone who would like to enjoy vintage Dior naturally in everyday life.

For styling, you can wear it in a classic manner with black wool slacks and a silk blouse, and alternatively, you can incorporate it by adding just a touch of shine to denim or a cut-and-sew—creating a polished elegance without a stiff, formal feel.

This is a vintage watch with Dior’s distinctive dazzle, designed to enhance the impression of your wrist not only as a timepiece, but also like a bracelet jewelry. Please take advantage of this opportunity.
