Timex, the popular American watch brand, recently joined forces with iconic Manhattan-based designer Cynthia Rowley for the new Navi collection. The collection pays homage to the designer's boundary-pushing neoprene wetsuit and combines form and function to create a dynamic timepiece.
The Navi style of the collection is a 38mm stainless-steel case profile of one of Timex's best-selling dive watches. A timepiece with a soft, beautiful silicone rubber strap and a mineral glass crystal lens, the Timex x Cynthia Rowley' Navi comes in two colorways: light blue/white and black/white. As a final touch, the brand even encased the timepiece inside a neoprene pouch that can be submerged in water.
Retailing for $150, the collection will be available for purchase starting July 12th on Timex.com, CynthiaRowley.com and selected stores.
