I can’t remember the last time I posted I Timex here – well here’s another one, one that’s been getting a fair amount of hype, a charming looking fellow based on a pseudo diver that was first released by Timex in 1979.
The original diver-inspired, Q Timex came along at the height of Quartz Crisis, a time when traditional Swiss watchmakers had their tails between their legs.
This is a true reissue of that watch, recreated to the very last detail—including: a woven Stainless-steel bracelet, functional battery hatch, rotating top ring, luminescent paint and of course like the model from 40 years ago a modern quartz movement ticking away inside.
