Timex has partnered with Fender to launch a new collection of three watches celebrating the guitar manufacturer’s 80th anniversary, according to the official product listings on the Timex U.S. website. The lineup features two 37mm quartz models and a 41mm automatic watch, with design details drawn directly from classic Telecaster and Stratocaster electric guitars.
Fender x Timex Automatic Flagship Specs
The Fender x Timex Automatic TW6A14600 serves as the flagship model for the 80th-anniversary release. According to Timex, the watch features a 41mm stainless steel case paired with a mechanical automatic movement and a dial styled after the butterscotch-blonde finish of early Telecasters. The timepiece includes a second hand shaped like a Telecaster headstock, a crown designed to mimic guitar hardware, sapphire crystal, an exhibition caseback, and a unidirectional bezel. Timex lists the water resistance for this automatic model at 200 meters, with a retail price of $499.
Stratocaster and Telecaster 37mm Quartz Options
For collectors preferring smaller dimensions, Timex offers two 37mm variants. The Fender x Timex Automatic TW6A14700—despite its model nomenclature—features a quartz movement and retails for $269, per Timex specifications. It showcases a mother-of-pearl dial inspired by Stratocaster pickguards, a Stratocaster headstock second hand, a volume-control-style crown, a domed acrylic crystal, a brown leather strap, and 50 meters of water resistance. Meanwhile, the Fender x Timex TWG068900 present package costs $299 and brings back the Telecaster theme with an light-blue dial featuring a white guitar motif in relief, shipping with both a leather strap and an extra fabric strap modeled after Fender guitar straps.
