The Space Jam x Q Timex limited-edition watch celebrates the 30th anniversary of the 1996 film through a motorsport-inspired redesign of the Q Timex platform. The watch features a black dial with red and yellow racing accents, Looney Tunes graphics, and a tachymeter-style bezel surrounding the case. Bugs Bunny appears integrated into the dial artwork alongside Space Jam branding and checkerboard detailing, referencing racing visuals from the film. The stainless steel case is paired with a matching bracelet and quartz movement.
The new watch includes a rotating bezel, day-date display, and luminous hands based on the original Q Timex design language. Timex also incorporated anniversary branding across the caseback and packaging. The release continues the company’s ongoing use of pop culture collaborations built around archival watch silhouettes and character-based graphic treatments.
