Timex has released a new version of its Intrepid watch, collaborating once again with Dimepiece founder Brynn Wallner and Foundwell’s Alan Bedwell. The new model, called the Timex Intrepid x Dimepiece Blackout Edition, is available now on the Timex US website for $269.
Design Details
This release is a direct follow-up to their previous collaboration, which scaled down the original 1990s Intrepid design into a more compact format. The Blackout Edition keeps those exact dimensions but swaps the earlier colorway for a dark, monochromatic hardware design.
The watch features a 36mm brushed stainless-steel case finished entirely in black. In terms of footprint, it has a 40mm lug-to-lug distance and a 10mm case height, weighing 58.52 grams. The 36mm sizing aligns with a broader trend in the watch market toward smaller, gender-neutral cases that fit a wider variety of wrist sizes without looking bulky.
To contrast the dark case, the watch uses a cream-colored dial with skeletonized hour and minute hands. There are a few specific color accents: the second hand, the 12 o’clock marker, and the dedicated INDIGLO pusher are colored in Dimepiece’s signature purple. The hardware also includes a rotating top ring for tracking elapsed time and places the screw-down crown off-center, just beside the 4 o’clock position.
For the strap, Timex opted for black NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber). NBR is a synthetic rubber generally chosen for being more resistant to oils and wear than standard silicone. The 18mm strap has a tonal TIMEX INDIGLO logo debossed into it and uses quick-release spring bars, which let you swap out the band without needing a spring bar tool.
Inside, the watch features a quartz analog movement powered by a CR1216 battery. It comes with a scratch-resistant mineral crystal and a screw-down crown, offering 100-meter water resistance suitable for swimming. The watch also features Timex’s INDIGLO backlight, which illuminates the entire dial in turquoise for better visibility in the dark.
