A Warren Beatty communicator watch from Dick Tracy
Buena Vista, 1990. Stainless steel watch with pearlized face with Arabic numerals, and a gilt metal mesh compartment below, with two knobs on the right edge, on a navy crocodile strap with a gilt metal buckle. Accompanied by a copy of the film. Chester Gould's Dick Tracy comic premiered in 1931 and the character first acquired a two-way radio watch in 1946. This gadget quickly became a hallmark of the comic strip, and was recreated for the 1990 film starring Warren Beatty.
Face: 1 x 1 3/4 in.; overall length: 8 3/4 in.
