A monumental sports watch on the adult wrist.
Ueni Trading Co., Ltd. is (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Mitsuki Miyakami) the sole Japanese distributor of the American watch brand TIMEX, which celebrated its 170th anniversary this year (R) 8-LAP METAL (Man iron(R) 8 Lap Metal) released on Friday, November 22nd.
Although there are many masterpieces, the IRONMAN(R) 8-LAP, born in 1986, is known as one of the moments not only in Timex but also in the history of watches.
At the time, it broke the stereotype of digital watches, which were mostly pure black, and were also water resistant to 100 meters, with face buttons and an 8-lap memory function.
There are stories that the President of the United States wore them, that NASA astronauts wore watches from the Iron Man (R) series in space, and that they were the basis for a model developed by Microsoft. There are too many stories to tell.
The newest metal specification IRONMAN(R) 8-LAP METAL was born from a conversation between designers at the time and within Timex headquarters after the reproduction of the original model from 1986, which was produced as project in Japan.
While maintaining the classic design and functionality, the case, top ring, and pushers have all been upgraded to stainless steel.
To ensure waterproofing, the molds for the case and parts were redone from scratch, and the structure of the case back was redesigned for this model as well.
The case and top ring are carefully finished with a combination of matte and glossy finishes, allowing you to enjoy a different feeling every time you look at it thanks to the refraction of light.
There are 3 colors available.
The gold color is a calm tone, the silver color is easy to match with a variety of styles, and the bracelet is also a black color with a focus on metal.
■ Gold color model
The gold color is not yellow gold or pink gold, but it follows an elegant calm tone.
■SS (silver color).
The silver color SS (steel) model has a glossy finish that stands out and goes well with a variety of styles.
■ Black color model
The black bracelet is a seven-piece bracelet that is flexible and comfortable to wear, and it has a difference between a glossy polish and a matte finish. It is easy to change the size, so it is also suitable as a gift.
