Today, the ABA most notably stands for the American Bar Association. But from 1967 to 1976, sports fans came to associate that acronym with the American Basketball Association, an exciting alternative to the NBA. This 14k gold Bezel wristwatch was presented to Utah Stars center Zelmo Beaty at the 1971 All-Star Game. That was a memorable year for Beaty, who led his Stars to the title and racked up playoff MVP to boot. The watch's face relays both the date (January 23, 1971) and location (Greensboro, NC), as well as the league logo and a panel for the day of the month. The timepiece has literally stood the test of time as it still runs perfectly!
