What to know
Timex is marking four decades of the Ironman 8-Lap with a close reissue of the 1986 digital sports watch. The anniversary model keeps the original’s asymmetrical pusher layout and grey-and-black palette, using a 39mm resin case on a black accordion-style rubber strap.
Its quartz module combines a chronograph with eight-lap memory, calendar, hourly chime, three alarms and a backlight. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres, preserving the practical emphasis that made the original Ironman a durable training watch rather than a purely nostalgic design object.
Gear Patrol reports that the Ironman 8-Lap 40th Anniversary will go on sale on 3 November 2026 for US$109. No official Timex product page was indexed when this draft was prepared, so the launch report is retained as the dated source and pricing is not converted into euros.
