From 1977 to 1979, Timex collaborated with DC Comics on a range of watches that showcased some of their most popular titles. Covering Batman and Robin, Wonder Woman and Superman, these watches were available from small Petite sizes, midsize Sprite watches and the largest Mercury pieces. 1977 was an interesting time for Timex as they not only collaborated with DC Comics but also several ofher comic and cartoon brands.
