Mercedes-Benz BM-103 quartz watch in good original condition, with branding on the dial, case back and bracelet clasp, a 32.5 mm case, 7.0 mm thickness, stainless-steel back and mesh bracelet, and a blue cabochon crown.
Description from the seller
This vintage Mercedes-Benz quartz wristwatch features a restrained dress-watch design, with the distinctive three-pointed star and Mercedes-Benz signature displayed on the dial. Mercedes-Benz branding is also present on the case back and bracelet clasp, giving the piece a consistent automotive character throughout.
Stylistically, the watch reflects the understated dress-watch aesthetic associated with the late 1980s to early 1990s, combining a dark dial, gold-tone hour markers, a slim case profile, and a stainless-steel mesh bracelet. The blue cabochon-style crown provides a subtle contrasting detail. The precise production year has not been confirmed.
