Restoration Thoughts / Notes:
- Bowling Heritage – Produced to mark the centennial of the American Bowling Congress (1895–1995), this watch isn’t just a timekeeper but a piece of U.S. sports history.
- Quartz Accuracy – At the time, quartz movements were chosen for commemorative watches because of their reliability and low maintenance — making it practical for bowlers who didn’t want to fuss with winding.
- Tank Design Inspiration – The rectangular “tank” style case is a playful nod to luxury watch design (Cartier popularized it), but here re-imagined in a distinctly American, sporty context — bowling pins and all.
