The next entry in a continuing partnership between Timex and Todd Snyder is the Welton Bi-Metal, a modern reinterpretation of a timepiece originally titled the Mercury. Featuring a quartz movement, 34mm stainless steel case with 30m of water resistance and a domed acrylic crystal, the Welton is a dead-ringer for a watch that Todd Snyder came across when perusing the Timex archives. With its silver-tone dial and gold indices, the Welton is a throwback to the golden era of mid-century watch design.
