Timex has just released a new line of compact, square-case watches in the US market. The new Addison collection is a straightforward nod to traditional watchmaking, offering a very small footprint and a classic dial layout for buyers who prefer an understated look over a bulky smartwatch or oversized diver.
Timex Addison Specifications
The watch features a 23mm square case with a beveled bezel. It measures just 8mm thick with a lug-to-lug distance of 31.5mm, and it weighs roughly 24 grams. By modern watch standards, this is distinctly small, making it a practical option for people with smaller wrists or those who simply want a watch that stays out of the way.
The case is made from polished low-lead brass and uses a standard mineral crystal to protect the dial. Timex went with a very traditional layout here: the dial features full Roman numeral markings, a polished handset, and a radial texture in the center that contrasts with a sunray finish on the outer edges.
Timex is offering two versions of the Addison at launch. The silver-tone model (TW2Y90600) comes with a matching silver-tone dial and a black crocodile-grain leather strap, priced at $119. The gold-tone model (TW2Y90700) is priced slightly higher at $129 and features a champagne dial paired with a brown crocodile-grain leather strap.
Both models use 12mm straps made from natural leather. The straps also feature quick-release spring bars, a standard but welcome feature that lets you swap out bands without needing a specialized spring bar tool.
Internally, the Addison uses a standard quartz analog movement powered by an SR626SW battery. The watch offers 30 meters of water resistance, making it suitable for everyday splashes, handwashing, and light rain. However, it is not designed for swimming or showering.
Both models of the Timex Addison are available to purchase now from the Timex US website.
In related news, Timex has recently launched two Marlin Chatham Automatic watches powered by Japanese Miyota movements, alongside two new Deepwater Arctic 200 watches in the US featuring ceramic bezels and sapphire crystal glass.
