Timex Legacy Day and Date Debuts With a Classy Green Dial and Leather Strap Option
Timex has expanded its Legacy collection with a new dress-style watch that brings a familiar luxury-inspired look at a far more accessible price. The latest Timex Legacy Day and Date offers the classic weekday-and-date display made famous by the Rolex Day-Date, but packages it in an affordable quartz watch designed for everyday wear.
The new model, identified as the Timex Legacy Day and Date TWG068800, features a 41mm stainless steel case with a polished bezel, brushed lugs, and a ridged crown. Its deep green sunray dial gives the watch a refined and versatile appearance, especially when paired with silver-tone hands and applied hour markers. Compared with some brighter and sportier Legacy models, this version feels more suited to office wear, dinners, and formal occasions.
One of the biggest changes is the strap setup. Instead of the stainless steel bracelet found on other Legacy Day and Date models, this version comes with interchangeable leather straps. Buyers get a brown leather strap as standard, along with an additional green leather strap in the box. Thanks to quick-release spring bars, switching between the two straps should be simple, giving the watch more flexibility for different outfits and occasions.
The dial layout is likely to be the main attraction for many buyers. At 12 o’clock, the watch displays the full day of the week, while a magnified date window sits at 3 o’clock. This arrangement gives the watch a classic dress-watch identity and makes it feel more premium than its price suggests.
Timex has kept the design cleaner by using a smooth polished bezel rather than a fluted one. That gives this model a slightly more understated personality while still keeping the overall look elegant and recognizable.
Of course, this is not meant to compete with a high-end Swiss luxury watch in craftsmanship, materials, or movement quality. Instead, the appeal is simple: it offers a timeless day-date design, a polished stainless steel case, a stylish green dial, and practical strap options at an entry-level price.
Inside, the watch runs on a battery-powered quartz movement, which should provide reliable and low-maintenance timekeeping. It also offers 50 meters of water resistance, making it suitable for daily splashes and routine wear, though it is not intended as a serious dive watch.
The Timex Legacy Day and Date 41mm with leather straps is currently available in India for ₹15,495, roughly around $160. A wider international release is expected, with availability likely expanding to markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe in the coming weeks.
