In June of 1976 the Boston Celtics earned their 13th NBA title by outlasting the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Finals four games to two. For their efforts the Celtics organization issued NBA Championship Omega watches exclusively to all players and team personnel to commemorate the historic win over the Suns an NBA Championship Series highlighted by what is widely regarded as the greatest NBA game in history the Celtics’ 128-126 triple-overtime victory over the Suns in Game Five.
The all-original Omega wristwatch with its original black leather Omega band features the Celtics’ Leprechaun logo and “Boston Celtics World Champions” on the face with a gold-toned border. Green basketballs mark the hours on the face except for noon 6:00 and 3:00 where “1976 NBA” and the indicator for day of the month appear respectively. The back of the watch face is blank silver in color (most likely stainless steel). The face of the watch appears in NM condition while the leather band shows normal wear from again and taking the watch on and off. These championship watches rarely come up for auction so it's a nice find for any passionate basketball collector.
