Introducing the Timex x Worn & Wound WW75 V3
The simple act of looking at a watch can do far more than reveal the time. It can inspire us to push our limits, it can bring back a memory, it can simply bring joy. Upon revisiting the Timex x Worn & Wound WW75 for the third and final time in this configuration, we wanted to create a watch that did more than look good, though that was achieved – we wanted it to take you from where you are and transport you back to the end of summer. Back to that time when the weather was first starting to turn, you realized the sun was setting sooner, and a bittersweet nostalgia seemed to creep in on the occasional cool breeze.
This is all a melodramatic way of saying that we were inspired by colors found as the days get shorter and summer comes to a close so that, just maybe, as you look at your wrist, the summer will never quite end. We landed on two palettes: Sunflower and Sunset. Sunflower season is mid-summer to early fall, aligning with our theme. These stewards of the season mark a turning point. Yes, perhaps it will continue to get hotter, especially in NYC, but they are also a reminder of change.
The hour and minute hands are painted rusty orange, bringing brighter colors into the mix without overpowering the combination. The seconds hand is then a medium teal for a subtle hint of the sky. Finally, tying it all together is a grass-green nylon mil-strap. Pulling double duty, the green brings the sunflower’s stalk to mind while adding a stylish contrast. Though inspired by the flower, we were careful to keep the colors from being too saturated, ending up with a watch that draws from nature while also having a slight mil-tonality. Camo, if you find yourself in a field of sunflowers.
