Timex x Worn & Wound WW75 V3 Limited Edition

Here at The Coolector, we love a watch collaboration that captures the spirit of a particular moment, and the Timex x Worn & Wound WW75 V3 Limited Edition Watch ($239) does just that, embodying the end of summer in a beautifully designed timepiece. This is the third year for the WW75, and, like its sold-out predecessors, it showcases a stunning retro aesthetic inspired by a 1970s case. This year, the inspiration for the design is the waning days of summer, brought to life through two distinct colourways: Sunflower and Sunset.

The WW75 V3 stays true to the dimensions of its predecessors, featuring a 37mm x 43mm case that fits comfortably on a wide variety of wrists. Its compact size, with a thickness of just 12.7mm, including the domed acrylic crystal, delivers a sleek and stylish look perfect for daily wear. The watch’s 20mm lugs make strap changes a breeze, and it comes paired with vibrant military-style straps that complement the watch’s colour scheme to perfection.

The dials of the WW75 V3 are where the design truly shines. The dials feature a combination of colors and textures in a concentric layout, with the center featuring a striking waffle texture that contrasts with the surrounding rings of vibrant hues. Applied indices add a touch of classic elegance, crossing from one region of the dial to another to create a sense of visual flow. The rotating set of numerals used for minutes and seconds brings a casual, playful edge to the watch’s overall design.

The two colourways, Sunflower and Sunset, perfectly capture the different moods of late summer. The Sunflower model combines sandy yellow tones with rusty orange and dark teal, evoking the warmth of a late-summer blooming flower. Paired with a grass green military-style strap, the Sunflower’s desaturated tones are natural and effortlessly stylish. Sunset, on the other hand, features a rich magenta dial offset by brighter blues and flecks of pink, reminiscent of the deep colours seen as the sun dips below the horizon. A striped blue and teal nylon strap gives the Sunset model a sporty, adventurous vibe.

Inside, the WW75 V3 is powered by a Sea-Gull TY6 hand-wound movement with 20 jewels, offering a smooth sweeping seconds hand and a satisfying daily interaction for watch enthusiasts who love the tactile experience of winding their watch. This manual movement perfectly complements the retro styling of the case, bringing the spirit of the 70s into a modern, wearable package.

The Timex x Worn & Wound WW75 V3 Limited Edition Watch is a perfect embodiment of the fleeting beauty of late summer, combining distinctive design, vibrant colours, and retro charm in a wonderfully compact package. Whether you go for the natural elegance of Sunflower or the dramatic allure of Sunset, you’ll be adding a timepiece to your collection that captures the essence of a season and a collaboration that continues to impress. Set to begin shipping by November 15th, 2024, this limited edition is sure to be another must-have for fans of Timex, Worn & Wound, and anyone who loves a beautifully crafted, nostalgia-filled timepiece.
