Release information about the $1 limited edition Timex watch

To mark its 170th anniversary, Timex announced the release of a new limited edition Waterbury wristwatch. The hot take? The watch will retail for $1 and pays homage to the brand’s original Yankee pocket watch, which also sold for one dollar in 1854.

In terms of looks, specs and quality, this one-dollar edition is every bit as good as Timex’s standard Waterbury model, which normally sells for $119 a piece. Housed in a 40mm brushed and polished stainless steel case, the reference features an ice white dial decorated with elegant 3D painted Roman numerals.

To celebrate Timex’s 170th anniversary, the watch features a specially engraved caseback that reads “A TRUE AMERICAN ICON” and reads, “This watch simply celebrates great watchmaking since 1854.”

Limited to 1,000 pieces, the watch will be available to purchase via Timex’s official website beginning November 16th at 10 a.m. EST.
