Description

This vintage Timex Sprite Calendar from 1976 features a clean white dial, bold geometric numerals, and a striking red sweep seconds hand that gives it a distinctly mid-century modern appearance. Its 33mm case size wears comfortably on a wide range of wrists and works equally well as a dress or everyday vintage piece. The manual-wind mechanical movement provides the engaging experience that many collectors appreciate in vintage Timex watches, while the date complication adds everyday practicality. We spent considerable time searching for comparable examples and were unable to locate another currently available Sprite Calendar with this exact reference and dial configuration. The watch presents well on the included expansion bracelet, though a fresh leather strap would elevate its appearance even further.

Condition

Very good vintage condition overall. The watch is running, though timekeeping accuracy has not been tested. The crystal shows light scratches and the case exhibits normal wear from age and use. The expansion bracelet remains functional but shows wear and fits approximately a 6.0–6.5 inch wrist. A replacement strap would further enhance presentation. Wear consistent with age. Buyer should refer to photographs for condition.
