1950s/60s Ingersoll-US Time Snow White Watches

The original Snow White graphic from the 1947 Ingersoll-U.S. Time wristwatch (earlier post) was redesigned circa 1953. She wears her iconic blue bodice, yellow skirt and red cape. This new watch was repackaged and sold in a variety of ways for over a decade. Here it is shown in an oval box, which also included a plastic "Magic Mirror" insert with an easel back. Chrome-luster watch case. Red cloth band. Manual wind. Original retail $6.95.

1950s Ingersoll-Timex UK Watch

In North America, Ingersoll sold its 1950s Snow White wristwatch through their brand, U.S. Time (see next post). In the United Kingdom, it was issued under the Timex name. The graphic design was near identical except for Snow White's dress colors. Note in this UK version, her iconic yellow dress has been changed to a light blue.



There are at least three different known box designs in which the watch was issued in. All are marked with a "Disneyland" logo. This one below dates from circa 1956.
