Timex x Superman Limited Edition Watch: A Timeless Tribute to a Hero
In an exciting collaboration that merges iconic watchmaking with cinematic storytelling, Timex® has unveiled a striking limited-edition timepiece, the
Timex x Superman Marlin® Jet Automatic. This release, designed in partnership with renowned filmmaker
James Gunn, coincides with the much-anticipated Superman film set to hit theaters on July 11, 2025.
A Design That Speaks Volumes
Crafted to celebrate one of the most cherished superheroes in modern pop culture, the watch embodies the spirit of Superman. Featuring a classic mid-century aesthetic, the Marlin® Jet case is not only stylish but also functional, encapsulating a sophisticated automatic movement. The leather strap is designed for both comfort and durability, making it suitable for everyday wear.
A Touch of Superman's Iconic Style
The watch design incorporates accent colors of bold red and blue, directly referencing Superman's signature palette. At the dial's center, the unmistakable
“S” shield stands prominently, symbolizing the hero's legacy. On the back of the watch, viewers can appreciate the mechanical intricacies along with an etching of James Gunn's signature, adding a personal touch from the creator himself.
James Gunn remarked, “When thinking about Superman, it’s his inherent goodness and sheer heart that resonate deeply. I wanted this watch to encapsulate those values.” He asserted that collaborating with Timex, a brand synonymous with durability and craftsmanship, felt like a fitting choice.
Form Meets Functionality
Giorgio Galli, Timex Creative Director, echoed Gunn's sentiments, expressing that designing a watch is akin to storytelling where every detail conveys meaning. The creative duo saw this as an opportunity to honor Superman's timeless nature and his inspiring essence.
The watch isn’t just about looks; it’s built for longevity, crafted with purpose to withstand the test of time—much like its heroic namesake.
Lois Lane’s Choice
In addition to featuring Superman’s watch, Timex will also spotlight the
Timex Cavatina worn by
Lois Lane, reflecting her unyielding strength and elegance. This character-driven choice aligns with Gunn’s vision of giving Lois a central role in the narrative, elevating her as a critical figure alongside the Man of Steel.
