Inspired by the original motoring watches that graced the tracks of Europe’s most iconic races, this timepiece celebrates the endurance of our legendary 1970s Q Timex. An ultra-precise chronograph movement and tachymeter bezel recreate the finesse and function of a true racing watch, allowing you to determine elapsed time and average speed like the greatest daredevils in motorsports. Sophisticated tonal sub-dials, a date feature, dimensional metallic indices, and an updated Q Timex logo stand beautifully against a midnight blue dial, while a stainless-steel crown and brushed and polished 40mm recycled stainless-steel case bring dynamism and durability to its retro construction. Infinitely wearable, it presents a sustainably tanned blue natural leather strap with integrated lugs that’s ethically sourced from the Leather Working Group (LWG).
