Mickey Mouse Watch

Fellow watch friends,

I'm trying to locate a quality mickey mouse watch and would like some recommendations. It seems to me that through my search I have found brands such as Ingersoll and Timex, but the timepiece itself seems to be quite small (35mm is the biggest I have come across). I would prefer an automatic if possible, but it is not a deal breaker.

Do you all have any recommendations of brands or sources as to where I can find a quality mickey mouse watch? Price range is preferably 1K or cheaper.

Cheers,

Ray

Try Seiko. But they don’t produce new ones anymore. Not sure.

Disneyland parks sell quartz mickey mouse I think. They may even have premium pieces.

I am a mickey mouse watch fan and if money were no object, i would recommend Genta.

Here’s my disney box.

Did you see the Swatch release of the Damien Hirst Mickey Mouse a year or two back? It’s not exactly quality, but they are quite sought after (especially the more limited edition run which trades at something like 600-800 GBP.

Shinola made a limited edition Mickey watch - there’s probably a few still out there.

Always wanted one....so I finally buckled down and went looking for one. I too ran into a ton of bad condition smaller watches and couldn’t find anything until I went to local antique stores across town and found a the watch I was looking for. Runs at 44mm too. The original band was shot so I bought a wider leather strap and replaced the battery. All in, I think it only cost me 50 bucks. I’m loving it. Can’t wait to bring it with me to DisneyWorld when everything gets back to normal.

Citizen is currently the official watch brand of Disney, and they currently have a line of modern looking watches, but definitely not the "classic" Mickey Mouse watch that you may be on the hunt for. If you haven't noticed, next time you get back to the parks, all the clocks are Citizen clocks!

Wish they went with Seiko though!

The ones that stand out (for me at least) are the Eco drive moon calendar, and the diver Mickey Watches.

I also quite like the older Seiko models, there was one made for 1987 and runs for about 100 bucks. There are a few Lorus models that are quite nice too. I *wish* I could find my old Mickey Watch from my childhood. Ugh.

I love Mickey Watches!
