An iconic American producer with roots reaching back to nineteenth-century Connecticut as the Waterbury Clock Company, the Timex brand has a long and storied history of crafting a bevy of stylish and affordable timepieces.

Here is a fruitful collaboration between Timex and Hodinkee that highlights the game-changing Q Timex model of 1979 that combined affordability with handsome stylings. 

With its reference to Hodinkee, there is a professional tipping of the hat to the influential watch website. Certain design sensibilities point to pre-quartz era dress pieces, which is always a thrill. 

Note the visually dynamic update to the dial with the outer edge of watch moving down from center. The handsome grey sunburst dial with a vintage crosshair pattern and iconic Hodinkee grey stylings make this a versatile piece for work or play. Note how the indexes are filled with pale green SuperLuminova while the hands sport a white luminosity.

The stainless steel case measures a comfortable 38 mm in diameter, 11.5 mm in height and rests upon a stainless steel expansion bracelet that can be easily resized.

Additional features include a bidirectionally rotating bezel that sports increments of time every 10 minutes, a domed acrylic crystal, and a 50 m 5 atm water resistance. As a Quartz-driven watch we find the Miyota M230 caliber with its three-year power reserve in the engine room.

From its limited availability to its handsome stylings we believe this Q Timex Vintage Hodinkee timepiece will make a fun and unique addition to your collection.

Standout feature(s): Special edition timepiece in collaboration with celebrated Hodinkee watch blog; versatile expansion bracelet; dynamic mix of green and white luminosity.
