Steam train figures are synonymous with the "railroad watch" tradition, particularly during the golden age of pocket watches (late 19th - early 20th centuries). With the development of the railroad system in the United States, high precision in the watches used by train drivers and conductors became vital. Bradley Mickey Mouse Pocket Watch Set (Model: 1063E5Y6)
This special Mickey Mouse pocket watch, produced in collaboration with Bradley Time Division and American watchmaker Elgin, is not only a fun Disney figure but also a nostalgic piece of American watchmaking history. Produced between the late 1970s and early 1980s, this model bears Elgin's assurance of manufacture with the "MADE IN U.S.A." inscription on its movement.

Historical Approach and Review of This Interesting Watch:
The watch's case is a Disney-licensed Bradley Time/Elgin National Industries product from the late 1970s to the early 1980s.
However, the movement's design is quite similar to an Ingersoll or Westclox production style from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s. In such cases, the following scenario is most likely the case:
* Stock Movement Use: Elgin or Bradley may have used previously manufactured, but later obsolete, movements in the production of these watches. This was quite common in the American watch industry to reduce costs.

In summary:
The watch's movement reflects the simple yet durable nature of 1950s American manufacturing. Produced in limited numbers by Bradley/Elgin in the late 1970s specifically for Walt Disney, this model was likely released using existing stock movements. This makes it a unique collector's item, both nostalgic and technically unique.
It's important to note that you shouldn't expect this watch to perform as perfectly as high-end pocket watches. The movement is approximately 75 years old and doesn't measure time very accurately. This watch is particularly valuable for those looking for a meaningful and unique gift.

The product you are viewing was manufactured in 1977.

Professionally overhauled and FULLY SERVICED (the movement is completely disassembled, the parts are cleaned, oiled, and adjusted), your watch will function flawlessly without any surprises. (It will be maintenance-free for 3 years unless exposed to direct water or high humidity for extended periods.)
Item Condition: Tested and fully functional.
