Vintage Disney Mickey Mouse wind up watch, can anyone identify the manufacturer?
Hi all,
Thanks for reading this post.
I recently picked this watch up, knowing nothing about it except what you can visually see, it’s Mickey Mouse. It’s wind up, and under testing with hairspring on my iPhone it shows +5s per day, I bought it for £20 purely as it’s the most accurate vintage wind up watch I’ve seen.
The dial says Walt Disney productions + Swiss Made, the case back says base metal, Swiss Made and then a serial/model number. The watch doesn’t have a definitive makers/manufacturer mark on it except Walt Disney productions who the last time I checked didn’t seem to be a Swiss watch brand.
Is anyone at all able to shed any light on this unusually accurate vintage Mickey Mouse watch? Please see attached photo’s.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I lack the tools and knowledge to take the case back off, I don’t really want to pay a watchmaker to do so either as it was bought just for the novelty value really. It’s paid for itself already with the laughs achieved when I’ve worn it and people have seen it. Maybe someone else will have a similar one who has previously taken the case back off. Thanks again
