the release of its newest special edition collection in collaboration with

Set in the early 1980s, Stranger Things is rife with retro throwbacks, from
synth-heavy musical undercurrents to period-perfect wardrobe aesthetics. For
this special edition collection, a brave exploration of the Timex archive has
resurfaced three cult classics from this iconic era—Timex Camper, Timex T80,
and the unforgettable Timex Atlantis.
"With the Timex x Stranger Things collection, two cult franchises join forces
to create a capsule that is intrinsic to this pop culture moment," says Shari
Fabiani, Sr. Vice President Brand Marketing and Creative Services at Timex
Group. "Through rich storytelling and ageless design, these special edition
styles proudly resurrect one of history's most expressive decades that
transcends through all generations."
Authentic Stranger Things graphics creep across all three styles within this
otherworldly collection. Sported by Lucas Sinclair in the forthcoming season,
the original Timex Camper now permeates the shadows with an ominous INDIGLO(R)
backlight and hidden image. The two digital watches, Timex T80 and Timex
Atlantis, which made their first debut around the time of Will Byers'
mysterious disappearance in 1983, feature a customized alarm with the Stranger
Things melody. Viewers may have already spotted Sheriff Hopper's Timex Atlantis
in previous seasons—an iconic watch Timex has rereleased in his honor. Things
really start to get eerie once the clock strikes 3:00pm, revealing a backwards
number 3. The reason? Only time will tell.
The Timex x Stranger Things capsule is available in three styles: Camper
(40mm), Timex T80 (34mm), Timex Atlantis (40mm), each retailing for $89. Key
features include a stainless-steel bracelet or fabric strap, resin case and
strap, INDIGLO(R) backlight, customized alarm, and much more.
The Timex x Stranger Things collection will be available for purchase starting
today on Timex.com. To view/download assets for the collection and campaign,
