Our latest Pan Am offering captures the spirit of the golden age of aviation.

It presents the clean, military-style design of a traditional pilot watch, and it’s powered by a 21-jewel Japanese automatic. It proudly features a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, luminant hands and markers, a date feature, and an impressionist airplane motif on the blue sunray dial. This same airplane appears on the sustainably tanned natural leather strap from the Leather Working Group (LWG), complete with contrast stitching, iconic Pan Am blue lining, and quick-release spring bars for easy strap changes without the need for tools.

Sapphire Crystal
Nearly impossible to scratch, the sapphire crystal lens is as hard and clear as a gemstone. There are only a few materials known to the world that can scratch it.
Sapphire Crystal
Scratch-resistant
Sapphire is the hardest crystal available. Given its hardness it is near impossible to scratch, however, it can be prone to shattering if subjected to a heavy impact. Its scratch resistance is very desirable and as such there is a higher cost to sapphire versus other crystals.

I had preordered this watch.
"I had preordered this watch. When it arrived, I was absolutely amazed. It combines beauty, function and nostalgia al in to one wrist watch. In short, I am more than satisfied. The dial color, finish are very well done. What finally sold me on this Timex PAN AM, is that is comes with a Sapphire crystal."

"Solidly built and ready to go. This has a great aesthetic that matches several looks."
I’ve got my eyes on
"I’ve got my eyes on an $8k IWC green pilot chrono, and since it’s out of my price range for a long while, I thought I’d try this watch for *checks notes* 47x less money, with 97% of the look and functionality. I can’t take it off. The bracelet’s tool-less resizing was great, the watch is chunky and serious and looks great in the sun. I put it on a NATO and it hits all the right notes. With the Father’s Day sale, I spent less than $200, which is less than half of my next cheapest watch, and I’m loving it. Amazing value for the money. Thanks Timex! -A Fan Since the 90s"

"Great everyday watch that you wouldn't be afraid to wear on a hike or camping trip. Has a lightweight feel on the wrist and leather strap is comfortable from the start no break in needed. Easy to read dial at a glance and does the functions you need. Price was good so you get a lot of watch for price paid."
Q&A
- What is the accuracy of this movement?
- Hi Delilah! We appreciate your curiosity about the accuracy of this automatic movement. The caliber inside the Pan Am® x Timex Waterbury Automatic Ace has a typical accuracy range of about −20 to +40 seconds per day, which is standard for mechanical movements of this type. This means you’ll enjoy reliable timekeeping with the charm and character of an automatic watch, while still reflecting the heritage style of the Pan Am collaboration.
- What specific make and model of movement does this have? Is it the Miyota 8215?
- Hi Andy! Thanks so much for your question. The Pan Am x Timex Waterbury Automatic Ace 41mm Leather Strap Watch is powered by the Miyota 8215 automatic movement. This is a trusted and widely used movement known for durability and consistency. Yes, your understanding is correct.
- Does it still have the typo “Watchmarkers” on the back case?
- Hi Arius! Great question about the Pan Am® Waterbury Automatic Ace. The “Watchmarkers” typo was corrected on a running change basis and updated during production.
- Any chance of a longer band in the same design?
- Hi Jim! As of the moment there are no plans yet. Although, thanks so much for the suggestion! I absolutely love the idea and I'll definitely pass your idea along to our product team. We always appreciate hearing what our customers would love to see!
- How do the quick change strap work? I don’t see instructions for it here, or in the “manual” that comes with the watch.
- Hi Pilot! Thanks for your question about the Timex x Pan Am® Waterbury Automatic Ace—such a cool tribute piece. The leather strap on this model features a quick release mechanism, which means you can change it without any tools. Just look for the small metal lever on the underside of the strap near the spring bar—gently slide it inward to release the strap from the lugs. It’s a simple, secure system designed for easy customization, and we’re here if you’d like help choosing alternate straps!
