Swiss Made!

Very cool! Reminds me of my childhood one.

Get yourself a new strap. Is it a plastic crystal? If so you can polish it. The case and bezel can be polished too. Looks to be all uniform finish.

You can restore it!

This is very cool
Bradley and Disney have a pretty strong partnership in 70s. Pretty cool design and contemporary pieces these days -

“... One of the most collectable and functional Swiss Movement Mickey Mouse Watches has to be the ubiquitous and retrospective Bradley Pie Eye Mickey Mouse Watch of the early 70s, the earliest design as displayed above. The packaging and presentation was consistently similar to the Timex/Ingersoll design, with the broad black strap and lined black plastic box displaying the legend 'Bradley' on the top of the lid and 'Bradley Times' logo with 'Mickey Mouse' and copyright Walt Disney Productions inside.
The design of the watch face consisted of a retrospective Mickey Mouse styling with white face, long snout, slim body and with 'Pie Eyes', a feature of the early Mickey Mouse illustrations of 'Steam Boat Willie'.
There were two main types of 'Pie Eye' Mickeys introduced, the earlier version was leaner with the right foot treading on the Nº7 numeral, with spindly hands and the sole of this shoe displaying a lined tread. The second version sometimes referred to as 'Fat Boy' displays a shorter rounder Mickey clearly centred on the dial with clean sole and similar or larger hands (depending on assembly)....”

Took some polywatch to it and it came out great! I think the lugs are 16mm. Might look for a red leather strap. I’m strange like that.

I’ve had it on for a couple hours and it’s still to the minute. Once this Covid calms down, I might take it to a local watchmaker to service it. From the research I’ve done, it’s from the early 70s.

I wouldn’t even bother to service it! It would cost you a small fortune for that! You can probably dab some oil on it. It’s probably zero or maybe one jewel movement.

I owned this same watch when I was 6. Great pick-up! Man, you can't even buy a candy bar for $1 any more, so well worth it.
