Timex Rocky 50th anniversary Viscount 1976 automatic watch, Digi Mart USA News: Timex has unveiled a special-edition Viscount 1976 to mark the 50th anniversary of the boxing film Rocky, which debuted in 1976, the same year the original Timex Viscount was introduced. The two anniversaries are linked in the new Rocky 50th Anniversary Timex Viscount 1976.
The watch has a 38 mm stainless-steel case with mixed brushed and polished finishes. A domed acrylic crystal covers a textured black dial with gold-tone hands and hour markers.
A date window sits at the 3 o’clock position, and a prominent Rocky anniversary logo occupies the lower half of the dial.
Timex has fitted the watch with a brushed stainless-steel bracelet that uses quick-release spring bars, allowing the strap to be swapped without additional tools. Inside is a Japanese Miyota 8215 automatic movement with a claimed power reserve of up to 40 hours, visible through the transparent exhibition caseback.
The caseback also carries another Rocky anniversary insignia and an individual edition number.
Timex describes the watch as a numbered limited edition but has not disclosed how many units will be produced. Its official announcement also omits pricing and release information.
A watch appearing to be the same model, reference TW6A32700, has, however, surfaced at Japanese retailers, listed at ¥127,000 (about $802) on Yahoo Shopping and ¥127,600 (about $805) on Rakuten.
