1st version (tall mickey)
Year 1972
Mint Condition
Came with original rubber strap
--SOLD to friend of mine--
History:
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).
Later versions consisting of shorter rounder Mickeys and rare examples of a 'Pie Eye' with sweeping second hand, gold case and smart gold and leather strap. An even rarer large 'Gold Face Pie Eye' was also produced.

And note, it's the same model worn by Tom Hanks in the movie Da vinci Code and Angel & Demons (from Dan Brown novels)
