This watch was awarded to the Sales Contest Winner, 4th Quarter 1972.
BELT BUCKLES
From our personal collection
The top-right buckle is a "Sales Leader" award from 1985. While the other three don't specifically identify as awards, we're sure the original owners wore these with pride. :)

The 8040684 Video Processor was used in several of the Tandy 1000 series computers, including the 1000EX and 1000HX. This acrylic "Circle of Excellence" award was given in recognition of the circuit design.
