Timex brings its 1990 moon-phase calendar back for €289

Timex has returned to 1990 for a compact calendar watch that looks considerably more elaborate than its €289 price suggests. Reference TW2Y99000 places a moon-phase display above the hands, a date window at six and concentric day-and-month scales around a cream dial. A polished gold-tone stainless-steel case and crocodile-grain brown leather strap reinforce the dress-watch character.

The reissue measures 37mm across, 42.5mm lug to lug and 10mm thick. It uses a battery-powered quartz analogue movement rather than a mechanical calibre, with mineral crystal and 30 metres of water resistance. Timex lists the model for pre-order in Europe, making it one of the year’s more accessible ways to add a traditional calendar layout to a modern collection.
