Produced as a promotional (?) watch for DC Comics, this watch features the character Superman flying in front of the S symbol which was Kryptonian for Hope. The watch is often incorrectly dated due to the date used to copyright the Superman name bein different from the watches production date. This watch was available in 3 sizes, this being the smallest version.
The hands are plain white and feature a sweeping seconds hand. The movement is the M100 manual wind calibur. The case is chrome plated base metal with a stainless steel snap on case back. This watch came with a blue patent leather strap with yellow stitching.
