Piece of History: Mike Cotten’s 1962 Cotton Bowl Watch

Hi All,

Wanted to share this watch I picked up. An Omega cal 490 1962 Cotton Bowl watch awarded to Mike B. Cotten. It runs. It will need a new crystal.

I researched the serial number and apparently the watch was made in the mid 1950s but was part of an inventory of Omega watches used to supply college football bowl watches in the 1960s.

It's also an incredible piece of Longhorn football history that I recently acquired.

For the younger crowd who might not know the history, the 1962…
