Vintage Bradley Mickey Mouse Cushion Case Wristwatch

This is a vintage manual-wind character wristwatch featuring Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse, produced by Bradley Time Division. The watch features a distinct 1970s-style stainless steel or base metal 'cushion' case with a brushed finish on the top surface. The dial is white with black Arabic numerals and a center illustration of Mickey Mouse, whose articulated gloved hands serve as the hour and minute indicators. The brand name 'Bradley' is visible on the dial. The watch is mounted on a textured black leather or synthetic strap with a simple silver-tone buckle. Physically, the case shows signs of age-appropriate wear, including minor scuffing and small scratches on the crystal and bezel. The strap appears to be a replacement or has significant creasing near the holes. This timepiece represents the mid-20th-century era of character horology, emphasizing whimsical design over mechanical complexity. The movement is likely a simple pin-lever mechanism common for Bradley production during this period. The overall condition is good for a vintage piece, showing a natural patina and functional wear without major structural damage or significant corrosion on the dial face.
