9102.19.20 - With strap, band or bracelet of textile material or of base metal, whether or not gold-or silver-plated

This HTS subcategory, 9102.19.20, specifically classifies wrist watches that are electrically operated, possess no jewels or only a single jewel in their movement, and are fitted with a strap, band, or bracelet made from textile material or base metal. The base metal components may be plated with gold or silver. These watches represent a significant segment of electrically powered wrist watches, focusing on simpler movement mechanisms when compared to jeweled movements.

The primary distinction of 9102.19.20 from its sibling category, 9102.19.40 ("Other"), lies in the material of the watch's strap, band, or bracelet. While 9102.19.20 requires these components to be of textile material or base metal (whether plated or not), the "Other" category would encompass wrist watches with straps, bands, or bracelets made from materials not specifically enumerated here, such as leather, precious metals, or plastics. This ensures precise categorization based on the observable external components of the watch assembly.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise identification criteria outlined: an electrically operated wrist watch with a simple movement (zero or one jewel) and a strap, band, or bracelet made of textile or base metal, potentially with gold or silver plating.
