Straight Out of The ‘70s—And the Silver Screen
This '70s reissue with roots in pop culture and film is making a bold return. It features the same red marbleized dial that made the 1978 original a hit, paired with a unique domed acrylic crystal boasting intricate interior facets that catch and refract light. Keeping in line with the heritage of our Q Timex, it’s powered by a reliable quartz movement and includes a day and date window beside 3 o’clock. Perfectly complementing the 38mm brushed and polished stainless-steel case is a glossy black natural leather strap with a crocodile texture. Clean, sharp, and born to steal the scene, the Q Timex 1978 Red Vega Reissue is ready for action.Specifications
