The NOAH x Timex MK1 Anchor TWG069300 represents a refined collaboration between American watchmaking giant Timex and New York clothing brand NOAH.
This special edition timepiece blends classic military heritage with traditional maritime aesthetics. It offers a relaxed yet elevated design suited for everyday wear and spontaneous adventures.
Specification
The watch is designed to celebrate quiet escapes, unplanned wanderings, and the simple luxury of having nowhere to be. The collaboration draws heavily from traditional nautical lifestyle themes and vintage utility equipment.
It captures a nostalgic seaside sensibility through custom naval graphics while honoring rugged military field functionality.
Timex uses the iconic MK1 as the base model for this collaborative timepiece. Originally developed as a durable, disposable military field watch in the 1980s, the MK1 standard evolved into a timeless civilian field staple.
NOAH transforms this utility base into an elegant casual watch by introducing maritime motifs and refined craftsmanship.
The watch features a compact, classic case diameter of 36 mm, making it comfortable on virtually any wrist size. It maintains a slim profile with a case thickness of 10 mm, sliding easily under long sleeves.
A domed acrylic crystal covers the dial to preserve authentic mid-century military charm. This lightweight lens enhances visibility and imparts a warm, vintage visual depth when viewed from side angles.
The acrylic material resists shattering and allows easy polishing if fine surface scratches appear over time.
The timepiece arrives as a complete gift set featuring two interchangeable fabric straps. The primary strap showcases a vibrant red-and-navy striped fabric pattern.
Stainless steel pin buckles secure the fabric straps safely while matching the matte finish of the watch case.
The secondary strap offers a solid dark navy blue fabric appearance for a stealthier look. Both soft, breathable fabric straps feature quick-release spring bars for quick tool-free strap changes.
The solid stainless steel case back displays precise laser engravings showcasing the official NOAH logo.
Dial
The watch presents a smooth, clean off-white dial with a matte-like subtle texture. Silver-tone applied hour markers line the perimeter, featuring classic Arabic numerals mixed with teardrop indices.
Luminescent dots sit adjacent to each hour marker, glowing alongside the Dauphine style hands in dark conditions. Both brand names, Timex and NOAH, appear cleanly printed beneath 12 o’clock.
At the 6 o’clock position, a prominent sub-second sub-dial features a bold red anchor graphic. This running second hand rotates steadily over the anchor artwork, anchoring the visual theme of the entire piece.
Red accents on this spot match the central motif, offering a striking contrast against the pale background.
Movement
A reliable quartz analog movement powers the timekeeping functions with minimal maintenance required. Battery-powered quartz technology ensures high precision, operating accurately within milliseconds per day.
It drives the main central hour and minute hands alongside the dedicated sub-second mechanism smoothly.
The NOAH x Timex MK1 Anchor TWG069300 successfully merges mid-century field watch durability with timeless maritime elegance.
Its compact 36 mm dimensions, reliable quartz movement, and double fabric strap set deliver a versatile daily companion. This watch is priced at $248.
