This listing features one of the rarest Bradley Mickey Mouse watches ever produced - a floral shaped ladies bangle watch! In the 1970’s, shortly after obtaining the license to produce Disney watches, Bradley produced a short series of metal bangle watches for ladies. The majority manufactured were either round, oval, or square shaped (as seen in the photo below), but a handful of these fun, floral-shaped bezels were also produced. Not only is this an incredibly rare Mickey Mouse model that any collector would love to have in their collection, this stunning piece is in MINT, unused condition and running strong. This is a wind-up watch that will never need to have a battery replaced! It ships in its original Bradley clamshell watch case (also in excellent condition) with original paperwork. It kept perfect time during a six hour testing period and winds easily and fluidly.
These beauties have a unique fastening system. Just squeeze the slim elegant bangle, and the watch case unhooks from the end of the bracelet. The gleaming goldtone finish is in beautiful condition and the watch looks as it must have when it was first produced. A full color Mickey figure is situated in the dial center, with the words "Mickey Mouse" printed on either side in black lettering, and Mickey’s red-gloved hands turn to point to the time. This manual timepiece is Swiss made, with the Bradley logo found on the top of the dial and "Walt Disney Productions" printed on the bottom. Other features include: *Black Arabic numbers, with additional minute/second markings set on dial.
*Goldtoned steel crown turns easily and pulls out to set the time.
*Steel caseback is engraved with "Base Metal, Swiss Made 015".
*White rounded dial.
*Goldtoned stainless steel case divides into eight rounded "petals".
*Watch would fit a wrist size up to approximately 7".
*Dial measures approximately 5/8" across, and the widest width of the case is 1-1/4" with the crown.
*Width of the bangle bracelet measures about 5 cm across.
The watch rests on its elegant maroon cloth covering in its original Bradley clamshell style watch case, which measures approximately 4"W X 4"L X 2.5"H. The case is in beautiful condition with no cracks or chips. The cream colored base features the word "BRADLEY" in gold lettering, with a clear plastic cover featuring an original item number sticker. The set comes complete with its original Bradley paperwork. These very rare and hard-to-find timepieces are extremely popular and therefore almost impossible to find as their owners are very reluctant to part with them. We have been selling collectible character watches for many years and during that time have only been able to obtain one other of these incredibly rare finds, a square shaped bangle bracelet watch. If you are a character watch collector, you won’t want to pass up this timeless classic. Or if you’re looking for a gift for your favorite Disney fan, you can’t go wrong with rare beauty! It’s fun yet practical, and makes for an incredibly thoughtful and unique gift idea that they’ll never forget.
