For a number of years, Timex metaphorically took a licking. For decades, the brand wasn’t really ever thought of in watch enthusiast circles as a brand worth paying attention to. It was mainly known for producing cheap quartz watches that were bought by people who didn’t care about watches. But throughout the dark years, Timex kept on ticking, just as it’s done since its 1854 founding as the Waterbury Clock Company.

These days, Timex is absolutely on fire. Under the steady leadership of designer and chief creative director Giorgio Galli, Timex has experienced a bona fide renaissance over the past half-decade. Fueled by the success of its reentry into mechanical watchmaking alongside a new knack for mining its extensive back catalog for vintage reissue fodder, Timex has suddenly become one of the hottest brands in the affordable watch segment, with hyped models selling out fast and often.
The brand is putting out bangers practically every week, so to help you keep track of it all, we’re rounding up all of the best new Timexes of 2024 right here. Bookmark this page and come back throughout the year, as you’re always going to find something new (and affordable).

Timex x Peanuts M79 Masked Marvel
Snoopy dial. Pepsi bezel. Retro integrated bracelet design. Automatic movement. This watch reads like a watch nerd fantasy, but it’s 100 percent real. A Snoopified spin on Timex’s vintage-inspired automatic dive watch, this iteration of the M70 features an appearance by the cartoon beagle’s superhero alter-ego, the Masked Marvel.read more
Timex x Raised by Wolves Acadia Ocean
A fast-selling collab with Canadian streetwear brand Raised by Wolves, the Acadia Ocean wears its aquatic inspiration on its sleeve thanks to a strap made from #tide’s upcycled ocean-bound plastic and a primary-colored handset inspired by traditional swim lap timers. RBW’s elaborate wolf logo also appears on the dial when the Indiglo illumination is activated.read more
Timex Q Timex Falcon Eye Chronograph
Timex’s most dedicated foray into the luxury sports watch genre boasts expensive looks at a bargain price thanks to its deep blue, Côtes de Genève-finished dial and flat-link integrated-style bracelet.read more
END. X Timex Q Series ‘Warp’ Watch
For this collab with hip menswear retailer END., Timex took the classic Q Timex into uncharted territory with a distorted, melted appearance that makes the watch appear as if it’s always being viewed underwater. The assymetric hands, warped numerals and faded, warped bezel all draw inspiration from Salvador Dali’s “The Persistence of Memory” and are meant to serve as a daily reminder to “use your time wisely”read more
Timex Q Timex Reissue 1971 Velocity
Timex continues to mine its 1970s past to great effect via its popular Q line. The Velocity is a modern reissue of a very sporty 1971 Timex, complete with a timing bezel and a motorsports-inspired checkered flag motif on the dial to go along with the bold burnt-orange seconds hand.read more
Timex Marlin Jet Automatic
The Marlin Jet isn’t a reissue of a vintage Timex like other Marlins. Instead, it draws broad inspiration from mid-century space-age design and incorporates some interesting design quirks as a result. Most notably is the large hesalite crystal that encapsulates the entire bezel, making for a visually interesting case — especially for the price.read more
Timex Q Timex Chronograph Blue Panda
Added after the original panda and reverse panda Q Timex Chronographs, this blue version boast a more modern look, trading in the faded cream color of its brethren for bright white accents to complement the brilliant blue dial. But there’s more going on here than a mere color change, as this version of the watch also gets an upgraded, PRX-adjacent bracelet.read more
Timex Marlin Moonphase
While most watches in Timex’s 1960s-inspired Marlin line feature mechanical movements, the brand went in a different direction for the Marlin Moonphase. Here, a quartz movement powers a triple calendar and moonphase, allowing the dressy, high-end complications to be had for a bargain price.read more
Timex x NN.07 “Original Tick Tock”
For Timex’s second collab with fashion brand NN.07, the two companies looked to encourage people to get off of social media and get outside with an adventurous watch — i.e., more tick tock, less TikTok. Using the Timex Expedition North Field Post 36mm as a base, this limited edition includes a stainless steel bracelet and opts for a more minimalist dial, with the 7 index and seconds hand in blue as a reference to NN.07.read more
Todd Snyder x Timex MK-1 Amalfi
Inspired by the original Timex Camper field watch of the 1980s, this Todd Snyder collab goes back even further with its styling to craft a stunning mid-century-inspired dress watch.read more
Timex x Huckberry Titanium Automatic Field Watch
A good-looking, easy-wearing field watch with a lightweight titanium case, a bulletproof automatic movement from Miyota and a dive watch-esque 200m water resistance? All for under $400? This may be the best collab Timex and Huckberry have ever come up with.read more
