The Phantom Men’s Watch is made of solid stainless-steel with a highly polished reflective finish. The face of the watch is a silver-toned raised relief of the Phantom with a purple background and the wording ‘The Phantom’. We also see a date feature present on the face of the watch.
The side of the watch case is etched with the Phantom’s Skull and Good ring marks. The watch clasp also bears the Skull mark of the Phantom. The reverse of the watch is etched with a silhouette of the Phantom and ‘The Phantom’ and licensing rights wording can also be seen.
