BEAMS and TIMEX join forces and launch two retro timepieces once again to celebrate the vintage sensibilities of the classic watches. The collaborative effort features two reworked timepieces, made up of the Classic Digital and the Original Camper.
Both of the watches are adorned in a dark gray hue informed in a slightly translucent finish throughout the body for a modern design language on a retro piece. The Classic Digital features updates including a digital square face as well as the classic INDIGLO backlight. Many of the design sensibilities are retailed including the functions and neutral tonal face, stop-watch and date display. The Original Camper is minimal in design with a round profile and 12 hour face.
