There was a time when making a phone call was a small ritual: inserting your finger into the dial, turning it, and waiting. The Timex 1976 Rotary Phone Dial Reissue TW2Y82100 brings back that everyday object and turns it into a watch with a personality that is hard to mistake.
The black dial evokes the old rotary phones, those where you inserted your finger into each number to place a call. The white numerals, framed in gold, transfer that image to the design of this Timex watch, while the gold-finished steel case reinforces its retro aesthetic inspired by the 1970s. The result recalls an old telephone turned into a watch, without simply reproducing its appearance.
The brown leather strap with crocodile texture fits that same idea: it adds warmth and reinforces the classic air of the whole. With its 37 mm, the watch retains contained proportions, while the day and date window adds utility without displacing the prominence of the dial.
This Timex Rotary Phone Reissue brings back an earlier design from the brand inspired by old rotary phones. A reissue that brings back a very particular way of understanding the watch, with a dial that evokes those phones and an aesthetic that retains all its original character.
This Timex 1976 Rotary Phone Dial Reissue TW2Y82100 comes with the official Timex warranty and the backing of our status as an official Timex dealer in Vigo.

Frequently asked questions
What movement does the Timex 1976 Rotary Phone Dial use?
This model uses an analog quartz movement powered by a battery. It is a practical and simple solution that lets the design inspired by old rotary phones take center stage.
Is it a limited edition?
The term Reissue refers to the revival of an earlier design; it does not necessarily mean it is a limited edition. If you are looking for a watch different from the usual designs, this model stands out for a very specific inspiration and a dial that does not go unnoticed.
Is it a vintage-style watch?
Yes, its inspiration comes from everyday objects of the 1970s, but it is not an antique piece. It is a current reinterpretation, with a quartz movement and a day and date function, that preserves the visual character of that era.
Does the dial disc rotate like that of an old phone?
No. The dial design visually reproduces the rotary dial of old phones, but it is not a moving mechanism. Its function is aesthetic: to turn an everyday object from the 1970s into the most recognizable element of this Timex watch.
Can I get the Timex 1976 Rotary Phone Dial wet?
It has a water resistance of 50 meters, suitable for everyday use. The leather strap, however, makes it advisable to avoid unnecessary exposure to water to keep it in good condition.
Can the strap be changed easily?
Yes. The leather strap features quick-release pins, so it can be removed and replaced without special tools.
