The case and bracelet are like new with minimal wear. It includes its original box and hangtag. Will fit up to a 7.5 inch wrist.
The 54th Orange Bowl was played at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, on Friday, January 1, 1988. It matched undefeated teams: the independent and second-ranked Miami Hurricanes and the #1 Oklahoma Sooners of the Big Eight Conference. Miami won 20-14.
Miami was led by head coach Jimmy Johnson and Oklahoma by Barry Switzer. To date, it is the only time the opposing head coaches from a college national championship football game each later served as head coach of the same professional football team (Dallas Cowboys), and won the Super Bowl with that team. Switzer was also the assistant coach on the championship 1964 Arkansas team that featured both Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones who would become the Dallas Cowboys owner.
