Timex Revives Its SSQ Digital Icon After 50 Years With a Tastefully Updated Retro Design

Timex is rewinding the clock with the Q Timex 1975 SSQ Digital Reissue, a faithful revival of a mid-’70s classic that keeps things delightfully simple. This retro digital returns after nearly 50 years with the same pared-back functionality fans loved: time, date, and a 60-second timer. No distractions, no gimmicks—just the essentials in a nostalgic package.

While the internals have been updated for modern reliability, the brand doesn’t specify whether the CR2016 battery will last longer than before. The watch is water-resistant to 50 meters, but it’s best to avoid pressing the buttons while submerged.

Key details:
– Functions: time, date, 60-second timer
– Battery: CR2016
– Water resistance: 50 meters (avoid button presses underwater)
– Updated internal electronics
– Price: $159
– Availability: now, through the brand’s official online store

Whether you’re a collector, a vintage digital enthusiast, or just want a clean, everyday timepiece with honest simplicity, the Q Timex 1975 SSQ Digital Reissue delivers timeless style at an approachable price.
