Timex is leaning further into its pop-culture collaborations with the release of five new Harry Potter-themed watches. The new lineup leans heavily on the brand’s retro-styled Q Timex series and the rugged Expedition line, offering a mix of standard wristwatches and a surprisingly detailed pocket watch.
Design Details & Pricing
The collection is anchored by three models based on the series’ Time-Turner device. The most prominent is the Q Timex Time Turner Chronograph, a 40mm stainless steel watch priced at $349. It utilizes a silver-tone dial with star-shaped cutouts and stacks its black chronograph sub-dials to visually mimic an hourglass. It features a gold-tone stationary bezel engraved with text from the books and runs on a standard quartz analog movement.
For those looking for a smaller footprint, Timex is also offering a 36mm Q Timex Time Turner variant for $249. This model drops the chronograph functionality in favor of a literal miniature hourglass filled with silver glitter placed at the center of a black and gold-tone dial. It comes on a black leather strap sourced from the S.B. Foot Tanning Company and features a black bidirectional bezel.
Rounding out the Time-Turner trio is a 48.5mm gold-tone stainless steel pocket watch ($349). It’s a heavy, novelty piece featuring a sculpted cover that opens to reveal a white dial modeled after the Hogwarts Clock Tower. It includes a standard Albert chain and features a perlage-finished interior.
Moving away from the Time-Turner motif, the collection includes the Q Timex Sorcerer’s Stone. Priced at $279, this 38mm watch features a black IP-coated stainless steel case and bracelet paired with a textured red dial. It includes standard Q Timex features like a day/date window and domed acrylic crystal, but adds a wand-shaped second hand and an exhibition case back displaying the stone’s name.
Timex is updating its field watch lineup with the Harry Potter x Timex Bolt Expedition Scout. This 40mm watch is the most understated of the group. It features a black dial with a lightning bolt replacing the traditional second hand.
The main gimmick here is tied to Timex’s proprietary backlight technology: pressing the crown activates the Indiglo backlight, which illuminates a hidden graphic of Harry’s signature glasses across the dial. While this specific Expedition model is already live on Timex’s Indian storefront, it is expected to officially launch on the US site shortly.
All models in the new collection are powered by battery-operated quartz movements and feature water resistance ratings ranging from 30 meters for the pocket watch to 50 meters for the wristwatches.
In related news, Timex recently launched a Halloween-themed Peanuts Weekender watch with a hidden Indiglo feature, alongside a Day of the Dead Snoopy watch with a striking glow-in-the-dark dial.
