Timex has been focusing on a campaign—digital edge, vintage soul—that reimagines vintage watches in the present time and still preserves retro features. Its latest offering, the Q Timex 1982 Ana-Digi Reissue, is, not surprisingly, based on a retro ’80s watch.

While the digital display sits below the 12 o’clock denotation, the analog dial occupies the lower half. Timex offers this watch in two options: stainless steel and gold. Both have a minimalistic and retro look, which is accentuated by the polished casing.

The two hues were quite popular in the ‘80s and were featured on the Viscount watch and Marlin Calendar models. The stainless steel option is paired with a black dial, which creates a contrast between the metallic luster and the darker hues, making it suitable for different environments. The gold option has a gold dial and bracelet for a monochromatic look.

Apart from the vintage design, this watch comes with modern functionalities such as a date function, a time zone tracker, and an alarm to keep up with the changing times. Thanks to the stopwatch features and the two pusher buttons, this Timex timepiece makes it easier to track time. The good thing about this watch is that it comes with an adjustable bracelet ideal for different wrist sizes. The stainless steel option retails at $179, while the gold option costs $189.

These two-tone Omega Speedmaster Moonwatches go full on ’80s (and we love it)

Omega launches a two-tone gold Speedmaster Moonwatch

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch bi-color

Omega watches have launched a bi-color Speedmaster Moonwatch in 18-karat Moonshine Gold or Sedna Gold combined with stainless steel. Anybody who browses the secondhand watch market will know two-tone Speedmasters are nothing new, however, this is the first time that a modern version of the Speedmaster Moonwatch will be available in bi-color metals. The two-tone design certainly takes us back to the 80s and 90s when experimenting with precious metals and steel was bold but common.
Omega Bi-Color Speedmaster Moonwatch: A history

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch chronograph became a part of American history in the 60s when a modern version was provided to NASA astronauts. And, if we're really talking American history, Sonny Crockett certainly popularized two-tone watches during the days of "Miami Vice," as did Christian Bale in "American Psycho," though those were Rolex.

Timex watches return to the ‘80s with this limited edition Ironman, the latest collab with The James Brand

Timex collaborates with The James Brand for nostalgic Ironman watch

Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to take you on a journey back in time to the glorious ‘80s, an era of leg warmers, neon tracksuits, and Walkmans. It was a decade where style was as bold as the hair, and now, we're thrilled to tell you that Timex watches have resurrected the spirit of the '80s with their latest masterpiece – the limited edition Ironman, in a spectacular collaboration with The James Brand; it's a marriage of retro innovation and modern performance.
Resin, recycled fabric, and retro vibes
The new Timex Ironman follows in the footsteps of the decade of risk-taking. This watch has a revved-up color scheme that feels like a blast of nostalgia on your wrist. It immediately catches the eye thanks to its vivid neon colors, which recall back to its mid-1980s introduction.

The electric yellow resin case for the Ironman is strong yet portable. Bright red buttons that pop with a lively energy reminiscent of a Rubik's Cube serve as its accents. The strap is one of the coolest features; it's a repurposed, ocean-bound plastic strap made of #Tide sustainable teal fabric. Thus, you're thereby wearing a piece of the planet's metamorphosis from garbage to the wrist while you wear this watch.
