Timex and Pan Am Team Up on an Automatic GMT Watch
Timex and Pan Am have collaborated on a Waterbury Automatic GMT watch priced at $669. It has a 41.5mm stainless steel case, an automatic movement, and a black-and-blue 24-hour bezel. The design includes Pan Am branding, a date window, and a GMT hand for tracking a second time zone.
The Pan Am x Timex Waterbury Automatic GMT, reference TW2Y94300, lists at $669 in the U.S. Its 41.5mm stainless-steel case houses an automatic movement with 24 jewels and roughly 41 hours of power reserve, visible through an exhibition caseback.
A rotating 24-hour bezel in black and blue, plus a GMT hand in blue and white, helps monitor a second time zone. The silver-white face features luminous hour markers, a date display, and Pan Am’s globe emblem; the crown repeats that logo. The 20mm steel bracelet uses quick-release bars, links adjustable without tools, and a butterfly clasp with push buttons.
This release could appeal to watch enthusiasts, frequent travelers, and Pan Am nostalgia fans, offering a mechanical GMT at a mid-range price. It may encourage more buyers to consider automatic travel watches rather than quartz or smartwatch alternatives, though its mineral crystal and 50-meter water resistance could limit appeal for some. Retailers and collectors might see renewed interest in airline-branded collaborations, while casual buyers may simply view it as a stylish everyday accessory.
