I've covered watches for the big Sci-fi franchises Star Wars and Star Trek, but there is one other (especially in the UK) who's turn it is now.
This watch is from the UK series Doctor Who. The Doctor Who series started in 1963 and was relaunched 2005 after a short break. It covers the adventures of a time travelling alien (a Time Lord) as he explores the universe working to right wrongs, help people he meets, and sometimes save entire civilisations.
Doctor Who's oldest and most recognised adversaries are the Daleks. They are encased in a metal armour with an eye stalk at the top and speak in a recognisable metallic voice. This is a talking Dalek watch and has two of their phrases; "Exterminate" and "You would make a good Dalek" which are activated by pressing the two Dalek pictures, one on each half of the strap.
The cover of the watch has a 3D moulding of a Dalek which is swivelled open to reveal the LCD display. As with most novelty watches like this, it has a basic 4 digit display with time, date, and seconds options.
The watch was made by Wesco Limited which is a Zeon sub-brand. It looks to have been made in 2004, and has various copyrights to the BBC and to Terry Nation who was the writer who invented the Daleks.
