Restoration Thoughts / Notes:
- Millennium keepsakes like this exploded in popularity around 1999–2000, with watches, coins, and medals being some of the most common—and today, they capture a fascinating slice of cultural history tied to Y2K anxieties and celebrations.
- Image Watches Inc., the California maker, specialized in promotional and commemorative watches, often custom-made for organizations. Many such small American watch companies of the 1980s–2000s sourced their reliable quartz movements from Japan while casing and branding were handled stateside.
- The Oregon Seniors logo places this firmly in the world of regional and club memorabilia, making it a double collectible: part watch-history and part Oregon social history.
