Nikon is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its first SLR camera, the Nikon F introduced in 1959, with a commemorative items sale through the Nikon Museum. The sale is offering several unique Nikon F-themed products, including a wristwatch, coffee mug, an acrylic plate featuring a hand-drawn and written illustration of the Nikon F camera`s components, as well as a revised 2019 Edition of the Nikon Camera History poster.
The Nikon F represents an important part of the company`s history; the model was in production for years before the eventual launch of the Nikon F2 model in 1973. It`s not surprising that Nikon would commemorate the iconic model with a special anniversary sale, one involving limited-production items at very reasonable prices for collectibles.
Though the Nikon F coffee mug is already listed as `sold out,` the Nikon Museum is still offering the acrylic plate camera diagram for 2,240¥ (approx. $22), the revised Nikon Camera History poster for 1,220¥ (approx. $11), and the Nikon F wristwatch for 19,900¥ (approx. $183). The watch is the most notable of the items, featuring an `F` shutter speed dial, the words `Nikon Museum,` and the letter `F` in the watch face.
Nikon Museum advises that each product is offered in limited quantities and that it may prevent buyers from purchasing too many units. Unfortunately, you`ll have to physically visit the Nikon Museum shop in Japan to purchase the items; shipping is not available.
