Pulsar Time Computer
P3 Date/Command
Stainless steel, 14 karat gold plating, quartz LED display
Serial number and maker's marks stamped to watch face reverse
At widest and opened fully, watch is 1 3/4 x 4 7/8 in. Watch face 1 3/4 x 1 1/4 in.
WITH ORIGINAL BOX, TIMESET BAR AND INSTRUCTIONS
An extremely rare Pulsar P3 Date/Command wristwatch. This 14-karat gold plated watch, originally introduced in 1973, was one of the first to ever have a LED display that showed the month and day, as well as the time up to the exact second in a digital manner, rather than traditional analog. It comes in its original blue velvet-lined box, along with original manual and card showing proof of model and serial numbers.
According to the manual: "Pulsar, the world's first solid-state Time Computer for your wrist, is the ultimate in reliability, and utilizes the latest space-age technology." While the company received hesitation at first due to its science-fiction aesthetics and high price points — Johnny Carson famously threw it over his shoulder during "The Tonight Show" after deeming it could only tell you "when "you went bankrupt" — it became extremely popular when Roger Moore wore a Pulsar watch in the 1973 film, "Live and Let Die." Pulsar watches, however, only lived a short lifespan; after Carson threw the first "wrist computer" over his shoulder in 1970, Pulsar would stop producing LED watches in 1978 and be bought out in 1979.
