Ray-Ban Olympic Games Commemorative Wristwatch
This is a vintage promotional wristwatch featuring a collaboration between Ray-Ban and the Olympic Games. The timepiece consists of a circular gold-toned metal case, likely gold-plated or polished brass, with a fixed bezel engraved with black Roman numeral hour markers (I through XII). The dial is a deep matte black, providing a high-contrast background for the gold-tone Ray-Ban script logo at the 12 o'clock position and the iconic five-ring Olympic symbol centered below the handset. The watch utilizes a three-hand analog movement with thin, tapered gold-finish hour, minute, and second hands. Below the rings, fine legal text is visible, including the words 'WORLDWIDE SPONSOR'. The watch is fitted with a black leather or faux-leather strap displaying a smooth texture and minor surface wear near the lugs. Overall condition appears fair to good for a vintage promotional item; there are visible surface scratches on the gold-toned bezel and lugs, and the acrylic or mineral crystal shows some minor scuffing. This item dates to the 1990s, likely around the 1992 or 1996 Olympic Games when Bausch & Lomb (then owner of Ray-Ban) held significant sponsorship rights. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality corporate promotional merchandise of the era, intended for collectors of eyewear or Olympic memorabilia.
