In 1977 and 1978, Timex launched the Wrist Jeans range of watches. Aimed at both boys and girls, Timex Wrist Jeans were available in 2 sizes across 5 models. Wrist Jeans watches had ornate denim straps paired with denim printed dials and were a must for youths sporting the double-denim fashion trend of the era.
