Timex TW6A32700 Marks 50 Years of Rocky
Timex has unveiled the Rocky 50th Anniversary Viscount 1976, reference TW6A32700, a numbered automatic edition marking five decades since the original film. Announced on November 10, it brings together a 38 mm steel case, a black textured dial and gold-tone anniversary details.
Two designs linked by 1976
The choice of watch is part of the story. Timex traces the Viscount design to 1976, the same year that Rocky introduced its Philadelphia boxer to cinema audiences. For the anniversary, the brand has returned to that period’s rounded case shape and contrasting surface finishes.
A gold-tone Rocky 50 emblem occupies the lower portion of the dial. The applied hour markers and hands match its color, while a date window sits at 3 o’clock. The surrounding case combines circular brushing with polished edges and a polished bezel, giving the small watch several distinct surfaces to catch the light.
Over the dial sits a domed acrylic crystal. Its curved profile is another deliberate period detail, complementing the compact proportions and the broad, fully brushed bracelet. Quick-release spring bars allow the bracelet to be removed without a tool.
An automatic with an anniversary back
The movement is a Miyota 8215 automatic, which Timex rates for up to 40 hours of running time. Its winding rotor can be seen through the exhibition back, beneath another large gold-tone anniversary emblem. Timex says each watch will carry an individual edition number.
- Water resistance: 50 m.
- Lug width: 20 mm.
- Self-winding mechanical movement with an exhibition window.
The anniversary edition comes in a single configuration, on the steel bracelet. Timex will announce the price, edition size and release date closer to launch.
