The Space Jam 30th Anniversary x Q Timex watch has been launched by the brand as a limited-edition timepiece that commemorates the 30th anniversary of the namesake 1996 movie.
The watch is engineered with a stainless steel case that maintains the classic Q silhouette of the original, but sees it enhanced for fans of the 90s era cartoon movie. This includes featuring the Tune Squad on the dial with Bugs Bunny himself taking center stage. The watch features a rotating basketball in place of a second hand to achieve the appearance of Bugs shooting hoops every minute.
The Space Jam 30th Anniversary x Q Timex watch is limited to just 1,000 examples and can be purchased directly from the brand for $269.
