Timex has introduced the 1976 Rotary Phone Dial Reissue (model TW2Y82100), a quartz watch that revives a distinctive dial layout from its 1970s archives.
The watch is now available for $219 in the US and ₹21,495 in India.
Design and Features
The defining feature is the dial, which mimics the circular number pad of a classic rotary telephone.
It has a black center surrounded by a white outer track, with Arabic numerals placed in individual gold-tone circular frames.
At the three o'clock position, a dual-window complication shows both the day of the week and the date.
The stainless steel case features a gold-tone finish with brushed and polished surfaces.
It measures 37mm in diameter, with a 43mm lug-to-lug distance and a 12mm case height, making it compact by modern standards.
The watch weighs 51 grams and uses a domed acrylic crystal, which is historically accurate and can be polished to remove minor scratches.
It has a water resistance rating of 50 meters, suitable for splashes and light swimming but not for diving.
Powered by a quartz analog movement using an SR920SW battery, it comes with a 20mm brown crocodile-grain leather strap and a gold-tone buckle.
The 20mm lug width and quick-release system allow easy strap changes without tools.
The watch is available for purchase through Timex's regional websites.
