Our Q Timex 1978 is presented in a 37mm stainless-steel case and crafted with all the features that make our collection of Q Timex Reissue watches so beloved–a reliable quartz movement, hand-applied indices, period-correct domed acrylic crystal, day of the week and date window, and slim-yet-substantial retro case profile–but now with gold-tone accents, a brilliant blue sunray dial, and a glossy black crocodile patterned natural leather strap. This throwback dress watch draws upon California cool and an era of wristwatch design that changed everything.Specifications

Beautiful watch!
"Beautiful watch!"
This is a good looking
"This is a good looking retro watch with a striking blue dial. The 37,5 mm size will fit well on most wrists and ride comfortably, however, the watch has two issues: first, the watch is thick and will sit proud on the wrist, possibly exposing it to unnecessary "bangs," second, the strap is very stiff. Still, the watch is quite good looking."
Awesome watch! Really love the
