It is a softer material that can be more prone to scratches but conversely is very shatter-resistant. Given its softness any scratches though can be buffed out.

"I'm extremely excited to own this watch. I've admired vintage models of it on eBay but never pulled the trigger. I'm glad I waited because the reissue version is beautiful, particularly the cushion case and dark brown strap pairing. Timex is my most favorite watch brand for it's affordability, legacy and design."
— Ryan C. (5/5)
Having owned this model 50
"Having owned this model 50 years ago I jumped at the chance to get the reissue. It did no disappoint, like a trip back to the good old days. Strap is a bit stiff but, like a good pair of boots or a new baseball glove, I'm sure it will break in."
— Jeff L. (5/5)
I really like the retro
"I really like the retro dial tone phone look. I wish the face were a bit larger, it looks kind of small on my wrist and I do not have particularly thick wrists. Also I wish it came with a black strap instead of the dark brown."
— Steve H. (4/5)
Great looking and fitting. Strap
"Great looking and fitting. Strap a bit stiff, but looks good and should break in nicely. "Rotary phone number: dial a real conversation starter. Love having day-date"
— Robin P. (5/5)
The new version is great.
"The new version is great. It is a bit larger than the original, but not too much larger. The look is nearly identical."
— David O. (5/5)
Beautiful watch. I once owned
"Beautiful watch. I once owned 2 NOS rotary dials and regret ever selling them. My only wish for this version is that it would be mechanical and not quartz."
— Justin H. (5/5)

"Seeing it in person, I don't like it nearly as much as in photos. The gold-tone looks nothing like real gold. I'm going to request a return."

A beautiful and unique watch

Q&A
Where can I find this model in a local store to view in person?
Hi Neal! The best way to find stores near you is our store locator tool! Check it out here: https://timex.com/pages/global-sites. You can even filter by specific models if you have one in mind.
Is there a steel steel only option? Steel case with steel beveling on the face instead of gold tone?
Hi Byron! The Timex® 1976 Rotary Phone Dial Reissue 37mm Leather Strap Watch is only available with the gold-tone stainless steel finish, and we do not have a steel-only version of this particular watch. The case and detailing are designed to complement the gold-tone finish shown on the product page. I hope this helps clarify!
Is it possible to get a black leather strap instead of a brown leather strap with this watch?
Hi Steve! 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.
Hello, I have a small wrist and am interested in this watch, can you customize the length of the band or is it just once size? I like to wear a 36 or 37 mm but usually they are in steel or titanium so I can size it. The leather are usually out of the question due to the strap being too long and sticking out.
Hi Denise! Thank you for your interest in the Timex® 1976 Rotary Phone Dial Reissue 37mm Leather Strap Watch. Unfortunately, we do not offer customizations, so the strap comes in one standard size. It is designed to fit wrist circumferences of approximately 150–205mm (5.9–8.1in).
I like the throwback as most people have no idea what a rotary dial phone is or how to use one, but you should have put a manual wind movement it it to make it a true throwback?
Hi Mike! 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!
