Timex has introduced the 1976 Lexington Reissue Inspired watch in the United States, priced at $149.
The new model revives the brand's 1970s rectangular dress watch design, combining a battery-powered quartz movement with classic analog styling.

Design and Features
The Lexington Reissue Inspired features a polished 21mm stainless steel case with a 36mm lug-to-lug length and an 8.5mm thickness.
Its compact, vintage-inspired proportions sit comfortably on the wrist and reflect the growing trend toward smaller watch case sizes.
The dial sports a silver-tone finish with a vertically brushed texture, elongated Roman numerals, and metallic blue hands.
A slightly domed mineral crystal adds to the vintage look while providing basic scratch resistance.

Because it uses a standard quartz movement, the watch is relatively low-maintenance compared to mechanical alternatives.
This choice also keeps the price down and allows for a slimmer case profile.
The watch comes with an 18mm brown leather strap featuring a crocodile-grain pattern.

Made from natural leather, the strap includes quick-release spring bars, enabling easy band changes without specialized tools. It fits wrist circumferences between 135mm and 190mm.
For durability, the Lexington Reissue has a water resistance rating of 30 meters.
This baseline rating means it can handle hand-washing or light splashes, but it should not be worn while swimming or in the shower.
The Timex 1976 Lexington Reissue is now listed for pre-order on the company's US website.
