MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, TIMEX 2025, GMT, Quartz 0

After previously captivating watch enthusiasts with the classic black and white Q Timex 1972 World Time, Timex now expands the collection with two exciting new colorways: a warm tan Earth tones edition and a striking blue variant featuring a white ring and hour markers. Both versions retain the vintage charm and functional design that made the original an iconic travel watch from the 1970s.

A Jet-Set Classic Reimagined

The new Q Timex 1972 World Time continues to celebrate the golden age of jet travel, featuring a rotating GMT bezel designed for globetrotters and adventurers. The bezel is printed with 23 world cities, allowing for quick tracking of a second time zone—an essential tool for international travelers.

Vintage Design with Modern Comfort

Housed in a traditional barrel-shaped stainless steel case with a brushed finish, the watch measures 39 mm in width and 12 mm in height, maintaining its vintage proportions. A domed acrylic crystal and black rotating bezel accentuate the retro aesthetic, while angular lugs, a fluted crown at 3 o’clock, and a solid case back secured by four screws complete the durable design. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters, making it suitable for everyday wear and light outdoor activity.

Distinctive Sector Dials

The new tan version features a warm sector dial with a black ring and white printed hour markers, while the blue variant stands out with a vivid blue dial paired with a white ring and contrasting blue hour markers. Both share pencil-style hands filled with luminescent material and a bright red center seconds hand that works with a minute/second track around the dial edge. Additionally, both models include a trapezoidal date window near the crown.

Reliable Quartz Movement

Inside, the Q Timex 1972 World Time is powered by a reliable quartz movement, equipped with an SR626SW battery, ensuring long-lasting precision without the need for regular winding.

Premium Leather Strap for a Vintage Touch

Each watch comes fitted with a 20 mm natural leather strap in brown for the tan version or complementary tones for the blue edition, complete with quick-release spring bars and a stainless steel pin buckle sourced from the SB Foot Tanning Company.

Price and Availability

The new Q Timex 1972 World Time are now available at an affordable price of € 199, making it an accessible option for collectors and style-conscious travelers alike.
