Vintage Fossil Disney Pocahontas wristwatch model DS-167 with leather band featuring leaf embellishment
History
This watch was produced by Fossil as a Disney Store exclusive in the mid-1990s, coinciding with the release of Disney's animated film Pocahontas in 1995. The DS-167 model features the iconic character on a teal-green dial with gold-tone case and distinctive leather strap adorned with a leaf charm, reflecting the nature themes central to the film. These Disney-Fossil collaborations became highly collectible limited editions that captured the spirit of Disney's animated classics. Vintage Disney watches appeal strongly to both Disney memorabilia collectors and vintage watch enthusiasts who appreciate the nostalgic value and craftsmanship of 1990s character timepieces. The Pocahontas series is particularly sought after due to its limited Disney Store exclusive distribution and the film's cultural significance as one of Disney's more historically-themed animated features. Collectors value these pieces for their whimsical design, connection to Disney's Renaissance era, and increasing scarcity in good condition.
