THE ART OF ILLUSION

Released in 1975 and nicknamed the “Mystery Dial,” the Q Timex 1975 Enigma Reissue was originally born from a vision to craft an illusion of floating hands. A navy blue dot painted on the underside of the crystal cleverly conceals the main hub, while the hands—also painted navy blue—seamlessly blend with the dial to enhance the illusion of their red and white details mysteriously floating.

As the first illusionary dial of its kind, this unique timepiece marked a revolutionary leap in traditional watch design. Beyond presenting a new and mysterious style in watchmaking, it embodied the bold fashion evolution of the ‘70s—an era saturated with the influence of science fiction, where space exploration, technological advancements, and futuristic aesthetics permeated popular culture.

 

Fast forward to today, and the eclectic style of this watch remains relevant and charming. This modern-day reissue boasts a stainless-steel case in an elongated cushion shape, a brushed stainless-steel bracelet, negative day and date window, and a domed acrylic crystal that brings depth and dimension.

Unconventional, innovative, and timelessly intriguing, the Q Timex 1975 Enigma Reissue stands as a significant milestone in Timex’s legacy of thoughtful watch design.
