Update | Noah x Timex MK1 Anchor brings a nautical twist to the classic field watch

The Noah x Timex MK1 Anchor is officially here, and you can finally buy it. The $248 collaboration watch is now available through Noah’s website and is shipping immediately, with the official listing filling in some of the details (see the specs table at the end) that were missing when the watch was first announced.

Edited article continues as follows:

Timex’s collab watch with Huckberry might have been indefinitely delayed, but that’s not stopping the Waterbury watchmaker from releasing a new collaboration. Timex and New York-based men's clothing brand Noah are coming together for their fifth collaborative timepiece, and it’s their sportiest watch yet.

The new Noah x Timex MK1 Anchor is a simple, nautical-inspired field watch that looks ready for a day on the water. Sporting a stainless steel case that measures 36mm across, the watch takes Timex’s military-inspired MK1 and gives it a decidedly Noah makeover, complete with an anchor motif on the dial and a laser-engraved Noah logo on the case back.

As you can see in the images attached here, the watch features a pale dial with red and mint-green accents. Large Arabic numerals mark the even hours, while minute markers run around the outer edge. We also see Dauphine-style hour and minute hands, along with a seconds subdial at 6 o’clock featuring a prominent anchor graphic in a nod to the nautical theme of the collaboration. The watch comes fitted to a black fabric strap with red stripes, and it looks like you’ll also get a solid-blue fabric strap inside the box.

Timex and Noah haven’t detailed full specifications just yet, but GQ notes that the watch is powered by a quartz movement and features an acrylic crystal. It’s also rated for 30 meters of water resistance and features quick-release spring bars. That said, we would have loved to see at least 50 meters of water resistance here, especially for a watch built around a nautical theme.

In any case, the MK1 Anchor represents a nice change of pace for Noah and Timex. The brands’ previous collaborations, which include the superhit Tank, Sun and Moon, Lighthouse, and Oval Moon Phase, have largely focused on vintage-inspired dress watches. 

The Noah x Timex MK1 Anchor will go on sale Thursday, August 27, at 11 AM ET. It's priced at $248 and will be available through Noah’s website and physical stores.
