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.
