Watch Wednesday (5/12/10)

For the sake of variety, I thought I'd feature a vintage watch that I got for the Mrs. some years back. It's a classic Snoopy design (I'm pretty sure there were watches with other Peanuts characters) that was first marketed about 50 years ago.

I don't know the exact age of his example, but I suspect it's from the late 1960s or early 1970s. It's in outstanding condition and runs well, though I don't know how accurate it is. The strap is not original; as is my usual habit, I added it after acquiring the watch.

I'm not sure what the deal is with my camera, but it has a tendency to misrepresent color. In this case, both the watch face and the strap are a bit more red than they appear here.
