Timex's new compact collab watch features a striking rose-quartz dial, 28 bezel crystals

Timex and Jacquie Aiche are back with another collection; this one is called Éclat. There are two watches in it. The TW6A15000 is $500, and the TW6A15200 is $400. They're both now available in the US, UK, and EU.

Aiche is a fine jewellery designer based in Los Angeles. She has worked with Timex several times now, and those drops have a habit of selling out quickly. Timex says this is her first rectangular watch, though.

The TW6A15000 uses natural rose quartz, so every dial comes out slightly different. Timex implies the stone's meaning too, and calls out compassion and self-acceptance. The TW6A15200 skips the stone and goes gold-tone instead.

Both dials have Aiche's tribe eye motif in the middle. Crystals mark the hours, and there are 28 more set around the bezel. Timex says each one is cut and set by hand. The pink model also gets a black detail on the crown, which is the only thing breaking up the two-tone finish.

The case is stainless-steel, and it measures 24 mm across, 34 mm lug to lug and 9 mm thick. The TW6A15000 comes in two-tone, and the TW6A15200 is gold-tone throughout. Both run on a bracelet with a butterfly deployant clasp, and the lug width is 18 mm.

Inside is a quartz analog movement. Watches of Switzerland lists it as a caliber 684 made in Japan, though Timex does not explicitly name it. The battery is an SR626SW. Luminant in-fill goes on the hands.

Water resistance is 30 m, and Timex is clear about what that covers. Hand-washing and accidental splashes are fine. Swimming and diving are not.
