Marketing SWAG (something we all get)
Let’s see corporate labeling on watch dials. This dual-time movement was a gift from United Airlines approximately 25 years ago. The airline’s logo has changed and they no longer fly the B747-400 but I continue to appreciate that United recognized loyal customers and gifted them this (cheap) watch! What are some other examples in your collection?

This Snapple watch was $8 NIB on Ebay. The label changes date it to their heyday in the early 90's.

That’s a snappy piece!!
Nice!
This is an awesome type of watch I am just now getting exposed to! I might try to find some of these to add to my collection!
Oh wow. This thread made me dig deep into my desk drawer...
The one on the left was given to team members of Populus 3 in 1998. The one on the right was given to all Electronic Arts employees to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the company.

Fun! And good looking pieces, too. 👍
Bridgestone tires and Racer magazine sponsored a Formula 1 fantasy league in 1998. This was my prize.
That’s neat! Nice piece and a good win for you. In 2000 I won a MotoGP Fantasy league but no such prize was offered. Glad you got this watch for your victory. 👍
Very cool piece for the logo alone - nice piece of design history from Saul Bass. 👌

I placed high enough to get this watch but I didn't win. I think 1st place got a set of Bridgestone tires. 23 years later those tires are shot but this watch still runs!

Splendid!! Great example of “worth it” SWAG 👍
FC Dynamo Kiev 80th anniversary edition #vostok #amphibia. Not your usual Vostok tank, jet, submarine, battleship etc. A #ukraine foorball team and a #russian watch!
You have a very nice piece there!! Definitely a “keeper” (pun intended!). Love it!
