The success of their labeled Timex watches pushed the company to finally rename itself the Timex Corporation in 1969. Case

You then have polished stainless steel hour and minute hands that are surprisingly well finished, and contain a good amount of lume application. Overall, if I were to condense this watch into a single statement, it would be “refinement for less.” The Marmont is special in its uniqueness and allure – you can tell just by the design that it is different from all other Qs before it. Some people will put it on to add glamour to their everyday look and for others, it may not be a watch for everyday use, but for special occasions. True fans will love it, appreciate its story, design, and know how to wear it.Another standout design element of the Q Timex 1978 Reissue is the tall, generously domed acrylic crystal. The crystal probably makes up at least 40% of the overall height of the watch. All that curvy glass adds another touch of class to the Q Timex 1978, and adds to the vintage look. It should help the watch stand out a bit more on your wrist, too, while still easily sliding under a shirt cuff. The Leather Strap To further the accurate reproduction of the Q Timex reissue, the brand used a nicely domed acrylic crystal that gives some period correct vintage charm. The domed crystal stands about 2.7mm proud of the bezel, which in turn makes for an impressive side profile not often seen in modern watches.

The dial is simple and effective, with a dull blue base finish that matches the “ Pepsi” bezel perfectly. The height of 11.75 mm includes the boxed plexiglass and the bump for the battery cover, so the actual height on the wrist feels closer to 9mm watch. Below the hands is “Quartz” in all caps, making sure you don’t forget that this watch is a battery-powered movement.

Quartz Movement in the Q Timex

If you don’t follow watch news, you’ll have missed the 411 that every man and his dog, probably named Patek or Gerald, has been talking about. The jocular return of France’s horological joker, Romantic André. Renowned for spicing up a watch dial with a graphic witticism or two, this week, he took on Timex with two models, one an automatic M79 model, and the other a quartz. Overall, I like the dial design and I think the finishing is great too. The colors are great, and this dial is the reason why this watch is so much fun to wear.
