Timex has launched two new rectangular watches in the US under its Éclat collection, continuing its collaboration with Los Angeles jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche.
These are the first rectangular timepieces from the partnership and are available now on the Timex website.
Two Distinct Models
The base model (TW6A15200) is priced at $400 and features a polished gold-tone finish on the case and bracelet, along with a matching gold-tone sunray dial.
The second model (TW6A15000) costs $500 and offers a two-tone stainless steel finish.
Instead of a standard metal dial, the $500 version uses a dial cut from natural rose quartz, so the pattern and texture will vary between individual units.
Both watches share a 24mm stainless steel case and integrate Aiche’s jewelry background into the hardware.
The center of the dial features the designer’s signature eye motif, which is also engraved on the rear caseback.
Crystal markers are placed at the hour positions, and the rectangular bezel is lined with an additional 28 hand-set crystals.
The case measures 24mm across, with a 34mm lug-to-lug distance and a thickness of 9mm.
They weigh approximately 86 grams.
The 18mm stainless steel bracelet secures with a butterfly deployant clasp and can be adjusted to fit wrist sizes ranging from 135mm to 190mm (5.3 to 7.5 inches).
Internally, the watches rely on a standard battery-powered quartz analog movement, running on an SR626SW battery.
The hands include a luminescent fill so the time can be read in low light.
For durability, Timex is using mineral crystal over the dial rather than the more scratch-resistant sapphire glass often found in higher-end watches.
The water resistance is rated at 30 meters, which means the hardware can survive hand-washing and light splashes, but it is not built for swimming, showering, or diving.
