This was the first vintage Timex watch with this design produced. The 1971 Timex “bullseye” had a higher quality print on the dial and is the one to get if you can find it. Subsequent bullseyes saw a lower resolution print and were subject to faster degradation which washed out the dial and often lost its impact over time.

Hi, My name is Mark Rushworth AKA Timetrope on Social Media. Ive been collecting Timex watches for a little over three years. From day one the community of collectors have been very patient and generous for the most part which has kept my interest and engagement in the hobby.

'Ive set up this website partly as a way of cataloging my collection and its many gaps, and as a way of paying forwards the kindness offered to me by Knut, Ian and others (you know who you are).
