It looks like one of the promotional gifts that the Camel cigarette brand offered to their customers. There was a slip on the back of the pack worth so many points and when you got enough points you could redeem them for gifts. Sorry to say this is likely not much of a find. I am not even sure who made those watches.

The Marlboro brand actually offered a Swiss Army Officers model under their loyalty program. They were lower end Quartz models as Imsuspect the Camel is? Enjoy the watch

Sorry to disappoint you but Camel watches are not sought for by collectors.

 

People who are into tobacco-related "stuff" may have some interest in Camel watches. People who are into watches mostly won't; however, there may be some interest in them among folks who collect watches made/offered by makers of non-fashion or non-fashion accessory goods. A Mickey Mouse watch is one such watch, although many Mickey watches had more horological "chops" than does the Camel you've pictured. Given the negative attitudes toward cigarettes and smoking, it's probably safe to say that your Camel watch may become a collectible piece some day, but it won't be among traditional watch collectors that it does so, and it certainly won't become collectible on it's merit as a timekeeping device.

As a timekeeper, it likely keeps time better than even the most pricey mechanical watches. That's not uncommon for any quartz movement to be able to do. The structural integrity of the case and strap is a different matter. Seeing as no depth rating is given on the dial, I wouldn't suggest doing more than showering with it on, and even that is best limited to cold showers as the heat from a hot one may weaken the glue that hold the crystal affixed to the case.

I suggest you just put the Camel in a drawer and ever decade or so check with an appraiser (auction house) to see if there's some interest in it. An auctioneer will be your best bet for finding the rarefied folks who'll value that watch enough to make it worth your while to sell it if you want to. This forum is almost certainly not a good venue for trying to get top dollar for it.

All the best.

 

It's not worth much to watch collectors but Land Rover enthusiasts (especially Defender and Series truck fans) go ga-ga over anything that has the Camel brand.

 

Camel Trophy I agree, but the watch posted by OP isn't a Trophy.

 

Thanks for the information. I don't have the intention of selling it at the moment anyways. It still is a memory I can keep. Although I can understand that my children or whoever it will get in a couple of decades won't have any connection to it whatsoever. Do you have any idea of when these watches were made?

 

I would say it was made in the late 1980's to early 1990,s in part because cigarette advertising was being restricted by then. I recall a Citizen GMT watch with a dial and hands that were almost identical to yours. The movement may indicate where it was made. The 24 hour hand may be adjustable with the crown.
