HIT THE WALL WITH IT.
There is a crazed cadre in this world rightfully called hardcores. For them there is the TIMEX IRONMAN. A watch with features designed to help them push themselves well beyond the limits of mere mortals.
Legendaly and iconic a 100-meter water-resistant TIMEX IRONMAN 8-LAP is now renewed with a Stainless Steel case, bezel and pushers which are as hard to break as they are.
Our OG edition (Ref. TW5M54300) is true to the first Ironman 8-Lap from design perspective, and we have had Mr. John T. Houlihan who designed the original watch back in 1980s to credit the fact. John retired TIMEX in 2001, but we reconnected with him in pre-pandemic and the OG edition was launched in 2022 as a Japan Exclusive project.
This Ironman 8-Lap Metal edition also features the famous "lunette" shape with two top-mounted buttons right below that circle. The case, top-ring and all pushers are now made by Stainless Steel. It sounds easy to apply, but the fact is not that easy as we needed to change each mold and update the case-back construction to secure 100-meter water-resistant.
Some people may ask "Why do you guys stick to the original design and size?", and we will answer "becasue the styling was just exactly right, and Ironman became the brand, not Timex. So, why should we ruin it?" It's not just nostalgic but keeping its legacy and good memories.
