How do you make a 1970s-inspired chronograph feel even more faithful to the era? Add a two-tone motif!
That’s exactly what Timex did to the Q Timex Continental Chronograph, which was originally introduced only two months ago. Better still, the gold-toned detailing is layered over a black dial and bezel.
The Continental Chronograph elaborates on the Continental GMT introduced almost exactly a year ago. It maintains the faceted case with angled lugs flowing into an integrated bracelet.
A prominent Q Timex logo, fine-gauge snailed dial texture, baton applied hour markers and fencepost hour and minute hands are also carried over to the chronograph. The rectangular lollipop seconds hand is repurposed as a chronograph seconds hand.
The Continental’s novel, intriguing GMT disc, viewed through a curved aperture, is replaced by a rather unusual bicompax chronograph arrangement. Naturally, given it’s part of the Q Timex collection, the movement is quartz.
There are two sunken subdials, both gold-toned in this case, with a standard small seconds display at 9:00, but rather than a totalizer, a synched 24-hour time dial is located at 3:00.
