Timex continues their trip down memory lane with the Q Timex 1978 reissue. A near 1:1 replica of a watch from their archives, no one would blame you for mistaking it for the original. At 35mm, this classically proportioned business casual timepiece has all the style and swagger of watches from the mid-twentieth century but is built to modern-day standards.
With a distinctly metropolitan aesthetic, the Q Timex 1978 pairs faceted lugs with a huge domed acrylic crystal, and polished details for an elegant but striking silhouette. The dial continues the theme with hand-polished markers that glint in the sun, a subtle brushed surface, and a gorgeous key-hole date window that adds a ton of personality. An easy-access battery hatch on the back makes servicing a breeze.
Inside of the Q Timex 1978 is a reliable quartz caliber with a date mechanism keeping you on time.
