This Mickey Mouse watch is a boy-size watch which does not have any Ingersoll marks on the face or back. I was told the tiny numbers above the 12 is an indication it is an Ingersoll, 1971 model. The numbers are so high up above the 12 they are partially hidden. It is a lovely watch and I love these boy-size watches. Kerry, appreciate your expertise if this information is correct. Many thanks.

Thank you Bellin68 for the appreciation.
That's correct, but the case appears to be 69-70, no indent at the crown, but that doesn't mean it's not a 71, Left over parts, lol.Either way it's a 1969-71, these styles were introduced in 1968, but the 68's had "Ingersoll" and "WDP" or just WDP on the dials. I have both of those posted. Here's the link to same, the black band has both and the red band just the WDP:
