A classic style with a touch of "luxury sports"

 The popular quartz watch collection "Q Timex®," which symbolizes Timex's free-spirited design sense, has been expanded with the addition of two new models in four varieties: the new "Q Timex® Q80 Continental" series.

 The new collection consists of two digital models and two analog models with GMT functions. The designs were created by Giorgio Galli, the company's creative director. The digital models are a bit different from the standard "Classic Digital" and the "T80," affectionately known as "Kaku-Digital," and feature a new design that combines the feel of the 1980s with the "Kaku-Digital" aesthetic.

Available in two colors, gold-tone and silver-tone, the combination of a rectangular digital display and a round dial with a sunburst finish creates a retro-futuristic feel.

 The case diameter is 39mm. The fully satin-finished case has a form in which the lugs and bracelet are integrated, giving it an appearance reminiscent of a luxury sports watch, which is also a distinctive feature of this model. In terms of functionality, it is equipped with the multi-functionality expected of a digital quartz watch, including a stopwatch, INDIGLO® night light with luminous paint that ensures visibility even in the dark, a date display, an alarm, and a timer. It is also water resistant to 50m, making it a perfect companion for American casual and vintage clothing coordination.

 The analog model "Q Timex® Q80 Continental GMT," which was released at the same time, is available in a black dial and bracelet combination, or a white dial and black rubber combination. Both dials feature a circular finish, enhancing their individuality and legibility. Like the digital model, this model also features a seamless connection between the lugs and bracelet, creating a stylish look. The design, which references the archives, gives it a nostalgic yet modern impression.

The dial features a sleek rotating disc GMT function at 6 o'clock.
