Timex Waterbury “170th Anniversary Edition” [Release Date/Price/Where To Buy]
Yes, you read that right—a watch priced at just 170 JPY (~US$1.12)!
In a stylish nod to their recent collaboration with MM6 Maison Margiela, American watchmaker Timex is pulling out all the stops to celebrate an impressive 170 years since their founding. To commemorate this milestone, they’re launching a special “170th Anniversary Edition” of the iconic Waterbury model.
About the Timex Waterbury “170th Anniversary Edition”

This release is inspired by the historic “Yankee” pocket watch, which revolutionized timekeeping by offering an accessible price point for the general public. The Yankee, launched in the 1890s for just one dollar, became a beloved staple among many, with over six million pieces sold—a true testament to its impact on affordable luxury.
The “170th Anniversary Edition” Waterbury honors this legacy with a sleek 40mm case, polished white dial featuring Roman numeral indices, and a stylish leather strap. The design includes a 170th-anniversary logo at the 6 o’clock position and a case back engraved with Timex’s rich history and iconic logo.
Beyond its striking aesthetics, this timepiece offers practical features like 50m water resistance, a convenient day-date display, luminescent hands, and anti-reflective mineral glass for optimal visibility.
