The Timex x Worn & Wound WW75 was created simply to be a joy to wear. A watch in two colorways that are both immediately welcoming, warm, and friendly. A touch out of the ordinary, but not challenging; quirky, but not annoying. A watch that can be worn with a wide range of styles. A watch that reminds you that watch collecting is all about having fun.

For the Timex x Worn & Wound WW75 we chose a 37mm x 43mm case, it’s 12.7mm tall, including a domed acrylic crystal, and has 20mm lugs. It wears beautifully and is sized to fit a wide variety of wrists. The dials feature a combination of colors and textures in a concentric array. At center is a region with a waffle texture, encircled by a ring in a contrasting color for a vibrant pop. Applied indices cross from one to the other, creating a visual flow, and adding an element of classic elegance. A rotating set of numerals for the minutes/seconds brings it back to the casual.

The two colorways of the Timex x Worn & Wound WW75 provide substantially different looks. One is a dark and earthy black and green combination with khaki and red accents mounted to a green textile strap. The other is a bright and airy off-white and teal combination with red highlights on a tan leather.

Inside are Sea-Gull TY6 manual wound movements with 20-jewels, providing a smooth sweeping seconds hand, and a chance for daily interaction with your watch.

The TY2806 automatic movement has a similar train layout to the Japanese Miyota 8215 movement, and the winding mechanism has a Seiko-style auto-winding ‘Magic Lever’ system inspired by Seiko. This provided Sea-Gull with a modern, simple and efficient full-sized wristwatch calibre that served as the basis of a myriad of complicated variants. The TY2806 movement is produced by Tijin Seagull in China. It is a cost-effective high quality design that is used by a lot of watch brands such as Android, Rotary, Ingersoll, Fossil, and Zodiac watches etc., One Swiss company uses the ST-16 ebauche in their watches but they brand it the CL888 and it is labeled Swiss Made.
