Item Description
Ultimate Collector's Time Capsule: 1990 Marlboro Racing Team Quartz Watch.
Up for sale is a rare opportunity to own a completely pristine, New Old Stock (NOS) vintage Marlboro Racing Team promotional watch from 1990. Officially distributed by Philip Morris Inc., this model celebrates the peak era of F1 and Indy Car racing partnerships. It has been safely stored away for over three decades and is presented in museum-quality, unworn condition.
🏎️ Design & Moving Dial Feature
- The Dial Effect: This model features a highly unique sweeping/moving red accent dial disc that serves as a seconds indicator.
- Aesthetic: The matte black round resin case frames a dashboard-inspired layout complete with an F1 race car graphic and the iconic red-and-white chevron logo.
🔋 Professional Service & Mechanics
- Fresh Battery Upgrades: Unlike most vintage "Deadstock" watches found online that arrive non-functional, this watch has been treated to a brand-new battery.
