Timex marks Ironman’s 40th anniversary with four digital watches
Three models are exclusive to Japan, where sales are scheduled for November 20. The international anniversary model is listed at US$129 and £105.
Timex has announced four watches marking 40 years of its Ironman line, with Japan getting three exclusive designs. The collection includes an anniversary model for international markets, although its international release date remains unconfirmed.
Japan opened preorders on November 2, ahead of sales scheduled for November 20. The anniversary watch and two Japan-only versions—light blue and yellow—are priced at ¥19,800 each. A black-and-green model costs ¥22,000.
The international anniversary model, TW5M75900, pairs a red bezel with a translucent blue case and strap made from resin. Its caseback carries an anniversary engraving, while the design references consumer electronics from the 1980s and 1990s.
The anniversary watch has a 39 mm case, a thickness of 10.5 mm and a lug-to-lug measurement of 46 mm. It uses an acrylic crystal and a battery-powered digital quartz movement, with water resistance rated at 100 meters. Functions include an alarm, a countdown timer, a chronograph, memory for eight laps and Indiglo illumination.
The Japan-only designs are the translucent light-blue TW5M76000, yellow TW5M76100 and black-and-green TWG069400. The latter comes with an extra custom nylon strap. Each shares the anniversary model’s 39 mm resin construction, digital movement and 100-meter water-resistance rating.
