Even though I drink Coca Cola, I am not against Pepsi as I occasionally will also drink Pepsi.
This rare vintage Waltham wristwatch from the 1950s features a distinctive Pepsi logo on the dial, making it highly collectible among watch enthusiasts. The watch has a mechanical (manual) movement and displays the time with Arabic numerals as indices on a silver case. Being a vintage piece, it exudes a classic and timeless style, suitable for both men and women. This Waltham timepiece is a unique find for those interested in adding a piece of horological history to their collection.
These watches were made by renowned watchmakers such as Waltham. The Pepsi logo used in the 1950s featured a bottle cap design with a patriotic red, white, and blue wave pattern, symbolizing patriotism during and after World War II.
The full "Pepsi-Cola" handwritten logo sometimes appeared on merchandise from this era before "Cola" was dropped in the 1960s.
Corporate Watch vs. Promotional Item:
Watches can be official merchandise produced by authorized watchmakers (such as Waltham) or novelty items. Officially licensed watches are often more valuable than unbranded promotional giveaways.
The rarity of a 1950s Pepsi watch in excellent condition with minimal wear significantly affects its value. The presence of an original strap, box, and certificate adds additional value to collectors. As time went on, the watches used by these soda companies became increasingly inferior and of lower quality.
