 Timex has announced the "1976 Rectangle Reissue," a reissue of the 1976 design. As the model name suggests, this model features a rectangular case and boasts a design that evokes the 1970s, as if it jumped straight out of a 1s style book.

 Even within Timex's vast archive of design variations, square models are rare. The 1970s were an era characterized by sharp tailoring and expressions that highlighted individuality, and this model retains that spirit in its slim 21mm case and understated, elegant design, while also featuring a modern silhouette.
