Put it another way: I can get you a Rolex Kermit or Hulk or a Patek Philippe Nautilus faster than I can get you a Timex T-80 Pac-Man. All of those are in the resale market, albeit for inflated prices. The Pac-Man is just . . . a ghost. Founded in 1983, the brand wanted to help fix the damage caused by the quartz crisis, which allowed Japanese companies like Seiko and Citizen, to gain more sales than its Swiss counterparts. Swatch also wanted to promote analog watches during a time when digital watches were becoming increasingly popular. Watches labeled water-resistant without a depth indicated can withstand splashes and rain, but should not be submerged. Analog / Digital Combo is a watch with both an analog dial and a digital display, these are powered by a quartz battery. Quartz movements are highly accurate, capable of keeping time to within milliseconds per day.One of the most popular watch brands of the 80s is the Swiss company Swatch, which popularized playful and colorful designs. These watches are fun, low maintenance, and are made of durable materials. 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. In addition to the signature Timex INDIGLO dial light, the T80 x PAC-MAN offers day, date, month, a 1/100 second chronograph, and a daily alarm function. The T80 x PAC-MAN’s party piece, however, is also available at the push of a button. The iconic PAC-MAN theme can play through the watch’s speaker on command, adding an extra layer of kitschy fun.

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. This watch was introduced in the late 80s, replacing the popular Casio F-15 which was a hit in the early 80s. This is one of the brand’s classic watches and continues to be sold today. The annual production of this model is 3 million units per year.When talking about 80s fashion, colorful and often oversized clothing come to mind, acid wash jeans and big hair. Br ight neon colors decorated not only outfits but also accessories like jewelry and watches. From the colorful Swatch designs by Keith Haring to the Timex Pac-Man watch or the Seiko A826 Training Timer worn by Doc Brown in the 1985 movie, this list will make you nostalgic about the decade. Timex is another Japanese watch brand that became very popular during the decade. The Timex T80 was first released in the 1980s, around the time the brand released its first digital watches. The PAC-MAN T80 marries the popularity of the arcade game with the retro popularity of the T80 digital design, in turn creating a timepiece that fosters fondness and nostalgia in its wearers,” says Silvio Leonardi, senior vice president of Timex. “Now, following the success achieved after ComplexCon in the fall, we are excited to offer the T80 globally. Customers and fans should anticipate even more to come as we celebrate the anniversary.” The brand recently re-introduced the T80 for a new generation. Now referred to as having a “ retro” design, the new T80 has improved technology but with the charming old school look): a digital chronograph watch with an alarm, month/day/date display, and a daily alarm. To maintain water resistance, do not press any buttons under water unless your watch is indicated as 200m water-resistant.
