Ray-Ban 1994-1996 Olympic Games Worldwide Sponsor Commemorative Watch

This is a vintage promotional wristwatch issued by Bausch & Lomb's Ray-Ban brand to commemorate their status as a Worldwide Sponsor for the Lillehammer 1994 Winter Olympics and the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olympics. The timepiece features a round, polished gold-tone case (likely gold-plated stainless steel) with an integrated bezel engraved with Roman numerals (I through XII). The dial is matte black and boasts several high-contrast gold-tone elements: the script Ray-Ban logo at 12 o'clock, the iconic Olympic rings at the center, and the text 'WORLDWIDE SPONSOR 1994-96 OLYMPIC GAMES' at the 6 o'clock position. The watch is powered by a quartz movement and features thin, gold-tone hour, minute, and second hands. The strap is a textured black leather, likely the original factory issue, showing moderate signs of wear including light creasing and surface dullness commensurate with its age (mid-1990s). The watch crystal appears to have minor surface scratches, and there is visible micro-scratches on the gold-tone bezel and lugs. This item is a notable corporate collectible, merging the heritage of a premier eyewear brand with significant sporting history. The overall craftsmanship is indicative of a mid-tier promotional gift or limited retail release from that era, maintaining a classic, understated aesthetic while highlighting its unique sponsorship pedigree.
