Timex’s new M79 Looney Tunes automatic features Bugs Bunny and a carrot seconds hand

Timex is once again leaning heavily into our collective nostalgia. Following up on the Space Jam x Q Timex limited edition launched in May, the Waterbury watchmaker has just dropped a brand-new Looney Tunes collaboration. This time around, the cunning rabbit who always stays one step ahead is taking over the Timex M79, one of the brand's most recognizable vintage-inspired watches.

The new Looney Tunes x Timex M79 (TW2Y99200X6) stays true to its 1970s dive aesthetics, featuring a 40mm stainless steel case paired with a unidirectional rotating gray bezel. However, the dial has received a playful twist.

It’s set against a crisp black backdrop and features Bugs Bunny in his signature laid-back pose with a carrot in hand above the six o'clock mark. But the absolute best detail is the sweeping second hand, which is designed to look like a bright orange and green rotating carrot.

The rest of the details are a pretty standard affair, with the dial featuring bold, luminous hour markers, Mercedes-style hands, and a neat day and date window sitting at the three o'clock position.

The Looney Tunes x Timex M79 is powered by a self-winding automatic movement, and you can actually see those tiny gears tick away through the exhibition case back. The caseback also features a prominent Looney Tunes logo. Timex doesn’t specify the movement, but it’s most likely using a Miyota automatic caliber.

The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters and is offered with a stainless steel bracelet, equipped with a butterfly deployant clasp and quick-release spring bars.
