The Q Timex® 1972 World Time is a reissue-inspired timepiece that brings a unique 1970s design from the Timex archive back to life for 2025. Originally created for stylish travelers in the golden era of jet-setting, its rotating bezel marks Greenwich Mean Time and follows with names of 23 cities around the globe, making it easy to read the time in any time zone. This style, created for the European market, features the French spelling for the noted locations. Other details like a brushed and polished 39mm barrel-shaped stainless-steel case, a minimalistic dial, a geometric red second hand, and a domed crystal – all the height of cool back in 1972 – make this a faithful tribute to the original and a stylish accessory for any modern traveler. This season, we’ve paired this frequent flyer with a brown supple natural leather strap sourced from SB Foot Tanning Company.

Q&A
- Can I order this watch with a fabric or vegan leather strap instead of the leather?
- Hi David! All our watches are sold as shown in the product images, so we do not offer customization, such as changing the band strap. However, you can purchase a separate replacement strap with the correct lug width if you’d prefer a different one.
- did you guys spell Singapore wrongly?
- Hello Weeyang! Great observation. The spelling of "Singapore" as "Singapour" on the bezel is intentional. When this watch was originally launched in the 1970s, it was designed for the European market, which is why it adopts the French spelling of various cities. This detail stays true to the original design, making it a faithful reissue of the classic timepiece. Hope that helps!
- What is the lug-to-lug width for this watch? Need to understand it w.r.t the 39mm case diameter to get a better idea of the size fit. thx
- Hello BG! Thank you for reaching out! The Q Timex® 1972 World Time 39mm Leather Strap Watch features a 39mm case diameter with a 41.5mm lug-to-lug measurement. The 12mm thickness of the barrel case gives it a compact and retro feel, which is characteristic of the watch's vintage-inspired design. This makes it a comfortable fit for most wrist sizes while still maintaining its distinctive throwback vibe. We hope this helps you with determining the fit! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
