Reference Number: 6979
Manufactured Date: 1969
This vintage Sears Winnie the Pooh mechanical wristwatch captures the charm of Disney's beloved storybook character in a colorful mid-century design. Its cream-colored dial depicts Pooh reaching into a honey pot, surrounded by two buzzing bees, bright blue Arabic numerals, and matching blue hour and minute hands. Housed in a polished silver-tone case with a stainless steel back and fitted with a turquoise-blue strap, this charming hand-wound timepiece reflects the popularity of character watches during the 1960s. Originally sold through Sears, it represents a delightful intersection of Disney memorabilia, American retail history, and vintage watchmaking.
The watch comes with the original leather bracelet which is well-worn.

- A Distinctive Honey-Pot Illustration - Pooh's familiar red shirt, honey pot, and two buzzing bees accompany bright blue numerals and matching hands, creating a playful and easily recognizable dial.
- A Surviving Piece of Disney History - The dial carries a Walt Disney Productions copyright marking, connecting the watch to Disney's early Winnie the Pooh merchandising during the 1960s.
