A Timeless Tribute: Timex’s 170th Anniversary Limited Edition Watch Offer
As Timex marks its 170th year, the watchmaker is winding back the hands of time with an offer that’s as timeless as it is unprecedented. Timex, known for democratizing wristwatch ownership, is celebrating its heritage by offering a limited edition watch at a throwback price that harks back to its origins.
From Waterbury Clock to Timex: A Legacy of Accessibility
Founded in 1854 as the Waterbury Clock Company, Timex has consistently made watch ownership accessible without the hefty price tag. The company, which began its journey in America, revolutionized the industry with its $1 Yankee pocket watch. Now, nearly two centuries later, Timex is turning back the clock, offering its Waterbury wristwatch for the same historic price of one dollar.
A Timepiece for the Times
The world has changed dramatically since the Waterbury Clock Company set up shop in Waterbury, Connecticut. Owned by the Dutch holding company Timex Group B.V, with its headquarters still in Connecticut, Timex continues its commitment to manufacturing reliable timepieces at affordable prices. This November 16th, at 10 AM EST, through their official website, Timex will release 1,000 units of the Waterbury limited edition watch at the remarkable price of $1 each.
Vintage Style, Modern Reliability
The limited edition Waterbury watch is a nod to vintage pocket watch aesthetics, featuring a 40mm stainless steel case, an “ice white” dial with black 3D lacquered Roman numerals, a railway minute track, and luminous cathedral hands. Powered by a quartz movement with a date display at 3 o’clock, this watch is a modern testament to the original Yankee pocket watch’s promise of “correct time for little money.”
A Design That Speaks Volumes
The Waterbury limited edition isn’t a Patek Philippe, a Moser marvel, or a vintage Rolex collector’s dream, but its $1 price point is an irresistible highlight. Timex has long proven that the joy of watch collecting doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Consider the brand’s Marlin hand-wound dress watch, priced under $200 a few years back, which introduced mechanical watchmaking wonders to a new generation of enthusiasts at an accessible price.
