1968 - early '70s, Ingersoll - Timex

During the sixties Timex became a US Time subsidiary brand (in 1969 US Time definetely changed its name to Timex Corp.).

From 67/68 to the early '70s Timex produced several Mickey Mouse watches, reintroducing a fully Mickey image and bringing the watch back to its former glory.

By all the Timex 'Mod' Mickey Mouse had a great success.

Size of the 'Mod' was 33 mm, issued with the disntictive wide 'braod' strap.
Once more Ingersoll name left in the box packaging.
