Punchy, The Hawaiian Punch Guy.
Hawaiian Punch was invented in a garage in 1943 by A.W. Leo, Tom Yates & Ralph Harrison as a tropical flavored syrup for their ice cream topping company the Pacific Citrus Products Company. In 1946 the company was purchased by Reuben P. Hughes and introduced bottles of concentrate for sale in retail stores. During the 1950's, Hawaiian Punch became a national brand.
The Hawaiian Punch Guy known as Punchy was created in 1961 to advertise the product. The Punchy cartoon character premiered on a television commercial foe Hawaiian Punch in 1962.
I'm not sure when this swiss made watch was created.
