References: launches.endclothing & hypebeast
SOPHNET. celebrates its 20th anniversary with a new design of the MK1 timepiece and to do so, it draws help from END. and Timex. The three-way collaboration marks a milestone for the company and the simplistic watch design is rooted in a MIL-SPEC design that nods to the 80s when it first appeared.
The overall design is rugged and very simple to read, which made the entire piece very reliable. The watch features a black aluminum case at the exterior and showcases the time through an acrylic glass with a Japanese quartz movement. The dial features branding from both SOPH. and Timex and this part feature the options of either black or white.
