The Timex x Worn & Wound WW75 V2 takes the same successful platform as last year’s collaboration but pursues new palettes for a different overall feel. A riff on a case from the 70s that had only been used with a quartz movement, we changed up the dial adding color and texture, added brushed finishing and polished bevels for a little jujj, and most importantly, a manual wound mechanical movement.

For the Timex x Worn & Wound WW75 V2 we used the same 37mm x 43mm case. It’s 12.7mm tall, including a domed acrylic crystal, and has 20mm lugs. It wears beautifully and is sized to fit a wide variety of wrists. The dials feature a combination of colors and textures in a concentric array. At center is a region with a waffle texture, encircled by a ring in a contrasting color for a vibrant pop. Applied indices cross from one to the other, creating a visual flow, and adding an element of classic elegance. A rotating set of numerals for the minutes/seconds brings it back to the casual.

For the new colors, two different but related directions we pursued. The first is a balancing act of blues. A light but confident blue fills in the center of the dial, circled by a dark blue ring. Applied markers cross the boundary from one to another accented with pink and blue paint. Dark blue hour and minute hands with pink fill stand off the backdrop while the seconds hand is a white stick with a bright teal tip. Both versions are matched with steel mesh bracelets.

Inside are Sea-Gull TY6 manual wound movements with 20-jewels, providing a smooth sweeping seconds hand, and a chance for daily interaction with your watch.
