Timex has updated its US storefront with a new trio of Q Timex Chronograph watches. Drawing heavily from 1970s motorsport aesthetics, the new models offer a straightforward, retro-leaning design paired with standard quartz movements.
Q Timex Chronograph Specifications
The release includes three distinct colorways. The entry-level model (TW2Y88700) features a cream dial with contrasting black sub-dials, a brown tachymeter bezel, and a brown leather strap sourced from the Leather Working Group.
Stepping up to the stainless steel bracelet models, you have the choice between an ice-blue dial with a black bezel (TW2Y88600) or a dark green dial with a matching green bezel (TW2Y88500). All three variants utilize a standard contrasting sub-dial layout and include a date window tucked into the dial.
On the hardware side, the specifications remain consistent across the board. Each watch features a 40mm brushed and polished stainless steel case with a 46.5mm lug-to-lug distance. The case height sits at a relatively thick 15mm, a dimension largely driven by the inclusion of a domed acrylic crystal.
While acrylic is more prone to scratching compared to modern sapphire glass, it fits the vintage positioning of the Q line and can be polished out at home. Lug width is a standard 18mm, and Timex includes quick-release spring bars on both the leather and steel bands to allow for tool-free strap swapping.
Inside the case, the watches are powered by a standard battery-operated quartz analog movement. The chronograph functionality operates via the two pushers on the right side of the case, allowing you to track elapsed time and calculate average speed using the exterior tachymeter bezel.
The watch also features luminescent in-fill on the hands and hour markers for better visibility in low-light conditions. It offers 50 meters of water resistance, making it suitable for everyday splashes and rain, though it is not intended for prolonged swimming or diving.
Pricing and Availability
The new Q Timex Chronographs are positioned as accessible, everyday alternatives to higher-end mechanical racing watches. The cream dial variant on the leather strap is priced at $239, while the ice-blue and green dial models on stainless steel deployant clasp bracelets retail for $269. All three are currently available for purchase in the US market.
In related news, Timex has recently launched the Deepwater Meridian 200 HEV Automatic watches with sapphire crystal and ceramic bezels, along with the luxurious Atelier GMT Première M1a featuring a Swiss automatic movement.
