The Graf Zeppelin – The first flight of an airship around-the-world. William Randolph Hearst financed the flight in 1929. These watches and matching fob are to commemorate that event. There are 2 variants of graphics....The standard White dial and the Black "Luminous" version. These were produced by Westclox, circa 1929
Thanks for looking

Great finds, Kerry, what are the odds, a Zepplin watch or two!

Thank you Stammy for stopping by and looking around. Always very appreciated!!
Who was selling these at that time 1929 ?
Eye4, "Thanks".....these were for sale at the "Gift Shops" aboard the ship and docking towers. I've researched though several magazines of the era and never found any references to these, but would guess some major chain store carried them, but that's just a guess
I am always thinking about who was the target market ... Ok, it was a great adventure, but to buy a watch ? Maybe I am too practical?
It had to be a "capture the moment" impulse buy for someone to buy this ...
LOL, that's how I bought them....impulse...seen this one that one and bid high, lol
