The digital quartz movement inside the Timex T80 x PAC-MAN may not be the most complex of its kind, but it delivers on the most important fronts to most wearers. This period was well-known for a lot of things—music (new wave, hip-hop) and music devices like The Walkman, companies like Nintendo, which produced classic video games, and blockbuster movies like Star Wars, The Goonies, and Back to the Future, and so on. The Timex T80 x PAC-MAN combines tough digital functionality with retro charm, surprising finishing, and most importantly, fun. This size is somewhat misleading, as the watch’s relatively long semi-integrated lugs and square shape help it to wear larger than the numbers suggest, but this still feels compact on the wrist.

An article on Bob’s Watches says that many Rolex watches from the 80s are not considered vintage yet, and could be more attainable than older models. The watch face itself is adorned with arcade-styled graphics of the massive ’80s hit arcade game and available in three color options: gold-toned, stainless steel, and a black PVD finish.
