Was given it a couple of years ago and it's been in a draw since? Thanks

It wouldn't be considered anything special. I expect that's not the answer you wanted!

It's obviously made by Accurist, it's obviously regulated by a quartz crystal and therefore runs on a battery; it has a day, date and probably a day/night indicator rather than a full moonphase display as well as a second 24hr timezone display.

Probably 90s..?

Value. Really not much at all sadly. It's not a bad looking watch.

All of the above. I was given one when i was 20-odd, so that's 25 years ago.

Day/night indicator, non-perpetual calendar, quartz.

Coincidentally, I found mine in the attic a week or so ago. Mine's on leather, and looking at it now, it's a fairly nasty looking thing.

For me, it's way too small to actually wear anymore. I reckon it would fetch about three quid on eBay.

The watch will command between £3000-£4500 in good condition and in the right auction house.
