This is an award watch from 1970 for the Bridgewater – Raritan (New Jersey) High School Football State Champion which had a 9-0 undefeated season. The watch appears to be a 1970 Bulova Clipper. It has a yellow gold plated case and the dial has been customized. It has a painted Minute Man along with "BULOVA MINUTE MEN STATE 9-0 CHAMPIONS 1970". The stainless steel case back has an N0 date code and is engraved with the player J.C. Wilson. The movement is aN 11ANACB automatic. The engraving is partially obscuring the middle digit of the serial number. Really engraver you had one job, just do it from side to side. It is in really nice condition.
Stephen - here's a good explanation for you - "Minutemen were civilian colonists who independently organized to form well-prepared militia companies self-trained in weaponry, tactics, and military strategies from the American colonial partisan militia during the American Revolutionary War"
In the case of this particular watch the team mascot of the football (American) team is the "Minute Men" I would think to give honor to the the revolutionists mentioned above. Yeah, about that engraver.....
Possible 1970 Bulova Clipper based on the advert being for a Stainless watch (I wonder why the Minute Men didn't choose the Minute MAN Bulova model?)
