This thing is pristine, like NEW condition.

Vintage Timex × Heinz Ketchup promotional mechanical wristwatch, dating to approximately 1981 and featuring one of the most unusual seconds displays Timex produced.

Instead of a conventional seconds hand, a miniature Heinz ketchup bottle travels around the dial once every minute, creating the appearance that the bottle is floating freely over the silver dial. The dial is finished with stylized Arabic numerals, Timex branding and the classic red Heinz logo at 6 o’clock.

Powered by Timex’s hand-wound M104 mechanical movement and housed in a chrome-plated case with stainless-steel back. Caseback marked Base Metal Bezel, Water Resistant, Stainless Steel Back, Assembled in Taiwan.

A fantastic piece of vintage advertising memorabilia that crosses over between watch collecting, Timex collecting and Heinz/food advertising collectibles. Presented on a brown leather strap.
