Timex has launched the 1976 Lexington Reissue Inspired watch in the US, priced at $149. The watch revives the brand’s 1970s rectangular dress watch design with a battery-powered quartz movement and classic analog styling.
Design Details
The Lexington Reissue Inspired features a polished 21mm stainless steel case with a 36mm lug-to-lug length and an 8.5mm thickness. Its compact, vintage-inspired proportions sit comfortably on the wrist and reflect the growing trend toward smaller watch case sizes.
For the dial, Timex uses a silver-tone finish with a vertically brushed texture, elongated Roman numerals, metallic blue hands, and a slightly domed mineral crystal for a vintage look and basic scratch resistance. Because it uses a standard quartz movement, the watch is relatively low-maintenance compared to mechanical alternatives, keeping the price down and allowing for the slimmer case profile.
The watch is paired with an 18mm brown leather strap featuring a crocodile-grain pattern. The strap is made from natural leather, and it includes quick-release spring bars. This allows you to change the band without needing specialized tools. It is designed to fit wrist circumferences between 135mm and 190mm.
Regarding durability, the Lexington Reissue has a water resistance rating of 30 meters. This is a baseline rating for watches, meaning it can survive hand-washing or light splashes, but it should not be worn while swimming or in the shower.
The Timex 1976 Lexington Reissue is listed on the company’s US website for pre-order.
In related news, Timex has recently launched two Weekender New England Chronograph watches in the US alongside two new MK1 Chronograph models featuring sunray dials and leather straps.
