Timex looks to bring back 80’s Nostalgia with the global release of the T80 PAC-MAN.
It’s been 40 years since the first release of PAC-MAN, a game that revolutionised video-games forever and cemented itself as the king of the arcade.
40 years on, PAC-MAN is now a household brand that has truly transcended time and its genre. It’s so iconic that it even has the power to collab with other massive brands. Introducing the Timex T80 PAC-MAN.
Ask any 80’s kid to name a few products synonymous with the decade, more often than not, they’ll mention a Timex and its iconic Indiglo backlight.
The T80 just oozes nostalgia so it’s not surprising the first batch of the PAC-MAN T80’s flew off the shelves at Complexcon in November 2019. Due to the incredible feedback received Timex has given it a second outing making it available globally to meet international demand.
“This crossover aligns the popularity of theiconic PAC-MAN™arcade game with the retro aesthetic of our T80watch’digital design, in turn creating a timepiece that hits all the right notes of nostalgia” Silvo Leonardi, Senior VP of Timex
In terms of design, the retro timepiece features a few little touches that pay homage to the little fella. On the dial itself you’ll find a PAC-MAN board featuring both food and ghosts to evade. You’ll also find tiny details both on the case back and bracelet clasp.
The best part though? the watch actually plays the iconic melody of PAC-man.
The watch also packs all the capabilities one would normally expect from aTimexT80, such as an alarm, stopwatch, date display, and INDIGLO® backlight.
The Timex PAC-MAN is now available on timex.co.uk priced at £69 in two retro metallic gold and silver colourways and also a third black colourway.
