Retailing for $975, the watch boasts an injection-molded 38mm case finished with titanium details and an exhibition case back secured with six visible screws. It’s also the first Timex watch to feature a 26-jewel self-winding movement by Sellita.

For now, the Lanzador is just a one-off concept, but the company expects the model to enter production in 2028.
