Thoughts

When you think of Timex, you think of the watch that can take a beating and keep on ticking, and this Hodinkee x Timex Waterbury Limited Edition is no exception.  Built with a reliable and robust Japanese movement and all of the functions of a dive watch in a ready to wear everyday package, this piece hits it out of the park.  The black textured dial is very eye catching and the case dimensions sing on the wrist.  The watch features 100 meters of water resistance so it's going to be a great everyday companion and the beautiful two-piece leather strap made by S.B. Foot Tanning Company is supple right out of the box.  S.B. Foot Tanning Company is a historic leather company know for producing some of the highest quality leathers in the U.S. All of this for under $500 is an incredible value and the watch feels more premium than it's price tag.  These are all sold out on Hodinkee's website and availability is getting harder to find, so don't sleep on this one before it's gone!
