Summary

  • J.Crew and Timex reunite after a decade to release a limited-edition MK1 watch
  • The 36mm gold-tone watch features a braided leather strap and a unique trout illustration
  • Available May 28, 2026, the collaboration retails for $198 USD

J.Crew and Timex, two classic American brands, have teamed up again after more than ten years to create a special collection. The result is a new version of the MK1 watch, combining Timex’s history of making accurate watches with J.Crew’s signature American style. This watch is designed to be a versatile piece you’ll wear with everything, and it shows both brands’ dedication to quality and lasting style.

The MK1 watch takes inspiration from classic, no-nonsense military watches, but with a more polished look. It has a 36mm gold-toned stainless steel case, a clear acrylic lens, and a reliable quartz movement, all held together by a woven brown leather strap. The watch face is intentionally clean and simple, with a charming detail: a small illustration of a brook trout painted by J.Crew’s own watercolor artist. J.Crew playfully points out that it’s not designed for serious fishing or diving – it’s just a watch with a fish on it.

This watch is designed for daily wear, combining a refined look with a relaxed style. It can withstand splashes and brief submersion in water (up to 50 meters). The special Timex MK1 for J.Crew will be released on May 28, 2026, and will cost $198. You’ll be able to buy it online from both Timex and J.Crew, and at certain stores.
