Celebrating 170 Years of Timex Legacy: The Waterbury Classic 170th Anniversary Limited EditionUpdated 7 months ago

Time is indeed of the essence, and November 16 marks a historic moment as Timex releases the Waterbury Classic 170th Anniversary 40mm Leather Strap Watch. This limited-edition timepiece celebrates Timex’s storied roots as the Waterbury Clock Company, honouring the “dollar watch” that brought quality and affordability to the world. Available for $1 in homage to the original dollar price, this release is a testament to the brand’s commitment to timeless craftsmanship, now presented with a modern twist.

A Glimpse into the Details of the Waterbury Classic 170th Edition
Craftsmanship and Style:
Each Waterbury Classic 170th Anniversary Edition watch is designed with the hallmarks of quality and elegance. The 40mm stainless-steel case is meticulously brushed and polished, surrounding a crisp, glossy ice-white dial. This special anniversary edition bears the official 170th logo and boasts intricate 3D lacquered Roman numerals, vintage-inspired hands filled with luminescence for low-light visibility, and a convenient day and date window at 3 o’clock. A scratch-resistant mineral glass crystal ensures clarity and durability.

Distinctive Caseback Engraving:
Turn this elegant watch over to discover a beautifully engraved caseback with vertical brushing, commemorating Timex’s 170-year legacy. It’s a tribute to generations of quality craftsmanship and innovation.

Premium Leather Strap:
The watch is paired with a high-quality natural leather strap in English Cordovan brown, offering a timeless, rich hue. Thanks to quick-release spring bars, swapping the strap is effortless, allowing for a versatile look to match any occasion.

Functionality and Durability:
This watch isn’t just a collector’s item; it’s built to last. Stainless steel offers resistance to scratches and tarnishing, while the watch’s water resistance of up to 50 meters makes it suitable for everyday wear, including light swimming.
