Produced as a promotional (?) watch for DC Comics, this watch features the character Superman flying in front of the S symbol which was Kryptonian for Hope. The watch is often incorrectly dated due to the date used to copyright the Superman name bein different from the watches production date. This watch was available in 3 sizes, this being the smallest version.

The hands are plain white and feature a sweeping seconds hand. The movement is the M100 manual wind calibur. The case is chrome plated base metal with a stainless steel snap on case back. This watch came with a blue patent leather strap with yellow stitching.

Hi, My name is Mark Rushworth AKA Timetrope on Social Media. Ive been collecting Timex watches for a little over three years. From day one the community of collectors have been very patient and generous for the most part which has kept my interest and engagement in the hobby.

'Ive set up this website partly as a way of cataloging my collection and its many gaps, and as a way of paying forwards the kindness offered to me by Knut, Ian and others (you know who you are).
