Timex has expanded its US lineup with the release of two new Weekender New England Chronograph models. Priced at $189, the new watches are available directly through the company’s website and offer a straightforward, functional update to the long-running Weekender series.
Design Details
The two new models, identified by product numbers TW2Y85000 and TW2Y85200, are identical in their hardware and differ only in dial color. Buyers have the option of either a cream or black dial. Both feature full stick markers instead of numerals, alongside luminescent hands for basic visibility in the dark.
In terms of dimensions, Timex is using a 40mm brushed and polished silver-tone stainless steel case. It measures 11.5mm thick with a 48.5mm lug-to-lug distance, which falls into the standard sizing for modern casual watches. The dial is protected by mineral crystal, which provides standard scratch resistance for this price bracket.
Internally, the watch runs on a standard quartz analog movement powered by a replaceable SR920SW battery. As the name suggests, it includes a chronograph complication. Two pushers on the right side of the case allow users to start, stop, and reset the stopwatch function.
The case is rated for 50 meters of water resistance, meaning it can handle rain and light swimming, though Timex explicitly warns against using the pushers underwater or taking the watch diving.
Both versions come equipped with a 20mm brown leather strap featuring contrast side stitching and a standard buckle. The inclusion of quick-release spring bars is a practical touch, allowing owners to swap out the 20mm band without needing a specialized spring bar tool. According to the spec sheet, the stock band fits wrist circumferences between 5.9 and 8.1 inches.
In related news, Timex has recently launched two new MK1 Chronograph models with sunray dials and leather straps, alongside two Expedition Sierra field watches in the US.
