Primary categories

Overview

M79 is a mechanical watch line introduced in 2020 by Timex, a U.S.-based watch brand. It carries forward the design of Q TIMEX, rooted in a quartz watch released in 1979. The “M” in its name stands for Mechanical, while “79” indicates the year Q TIMEX was released. Equipped with an automatic movement, it reinterprets design elements associated with Timex in the 1970s, including a rotating bezel, domed acrylic crystal, and stainless steel bracelet, in a contemporary style. Centered on Timex’s heritage and a return to mechanical watches, the line includes multiple colorways and collaboration models.

M79 is an automatic-winding watch line derived from Timex’s Q Timex 1979 Reissue. It inherits a design close to the Q Timex’s case shape and rotating bezel, while adopting a mechanical movement and a see-through case back. In contrast to Q Timex Reissue, which serves as the quartz reissue, M79 is a derivative line that develops the same vintage context in the form of automatic watches, complementing Timex’s range of mechanical models.
