Finding a great dress watchunder $200 isn’t easy—but the latest collaboration between Todd Snyder and Timex makes a strong case. The revived 1976 Lexington blends vintage-inspired design with modern updates, delivering a slim, versatile watch that looks far more expensive than its price tag suggests.

Available in fresh spring-ready colors like butter yellow, khaki, and classic black, the updated Lexington keeps its signature tank-style case while refining the dial for better legibility and a more contemporary feel. It’s lightweight, understated, and easy to wear with everything from tailored looks to casual fits. At just $169, it’s one of the most accessible ways to upgrade your watch game this season—without sacrificing style.

The dial is capped with a raised flat crystal. At eight millimeters tall, it slides under even the tightest of cuffs and is unassuming on any wrist.  Powered by a time-only quartz analog movement, the 1976 Lexington accurate to within milliseconds per day. While the piece is rated to 30 meters of water resistance, Timex recommends you keep it dry. Hand-washing or accidental splashes of water are fine but you’re going to want to leave it behind before heading to the pool or ocean. The black and butter yellow dial versions both come on a black leather strap secured with a pin buckle (another reason to keep it away from the water). The khaki dial receives the same treatment but in tan. 

The Todd Snyder x Timex 1976 Lexington is available now at timex.com and toddsnyder.com for $169.
