Timex has updated its US website with two new 39mm Ironman 8-Lap digital watches. The lineup includes a standard gray model and a special 40th Anniversary Edition commemorating the original watch’s debut in 1986.

However, neither model is available to purchase yet. Both are currently listed as out of stock on Timex’s online store, with only a Notify Me option available for interested buyers.

Design Details

The standard Ironman 8-Lap, listed as model TW5M54300, is priced at $119. It features a 39mm gray case made from a glass-filled polycarbonate blend with a bead-blasted finish. The watch weighs 31.19 grams and has a case height of 11mm.

It comes with a black polyurethane strap that has a 19mm lug width. The design includes orange accents on the front-facing buttons, which control the start-stop and lap-reset functions. The digital display is covered by an acrylic crystal.

For a slightly higher price of $129, Timex lists the 40th Anniversary Edition, model TW5M75900. This version maintains the exact same 39mm dimensions and basic hardware but changes the exterior materials and colors.

It uses a translucent blue resin for both the case and the strap, paired with a red bezel. It also features a custom-engraved case back to note the 2026 anniversary date.

Internally, the two watches are identical. They operate on a standard quartz digital movement powered by a CR2016 coin-cell battery. The software provides basic timekeeping alongside a chronograph, a countdown timer, a daily alarm, and an 8-lap memory. The physical interface uses top-mounted pushers and the aforementioned front buttons to navigate these modes.

Both versions have a water resistance rating of 100 meters, making them suitable for swimming. They also include the Indiglo backlight system, which illuminates the digital panel when the top right button is pressed.

In related news, Timex has recently unveiled three new Addison watches adorned with 50 crystals and stainless steel bracelets, alongside a vintage-style rectangular model featuring two interchangeable straps.
