From the 1950s through the 1970s, Pan Am, the now-defunct airline, was the darling of the passenger air travel industry. The brand’s exceptional midcentury styling was so impactful that it remains a go-to design example to this day.
Now, a new pilot’s watch collaboration has been unveiled, showcasing the airline’s timelessness (pun intended) on a pair of stunning, affordable timepieces. For anyone pining for the golden age of travel, the Timex x Pan Am Waterbury Ace Collection — which includes the Waterbury Ace Chronograph and Waterbury Automatic Ace — is sure to be a hit.
This isn’t the first time Timex and Pan Am have teamed up. The last time was toward the tail-end of last year (almost exactly a calendar year ago). However, when comparing the latest collaboration with the previous one, there are some noteworthy differences.
Stylistically, this new pair of timepieces is a lot more refined. For instance, they both feature an airplane silhouette at the 12 o’clock position, which is a nice stylistic touch missing in the last collab. Furthermore, while they still boast Pan Am’s signature coloring and the airline’s logo above the 6 o’clock marker, these new drops are notably less busy.
