Timex and Montréal’s Dime ship a T80 as a boxed set: 34 mm stainless case, studded stainless bracelet, plus a second natural leather strap with silver studs for a quieter wrist option. The LCD sits in a black mask with co-branded readout and a custom INDIGLO® mark under the numerals. $229 USD; Dime’s storefront lists the drop as April 11, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. EDT through Dime and Timex.
What changed
No new movement story- this is trim and weight distribution. The case stays in the compact T80 footprint at 34 mm. What reads different is metal density: a studded steel bracelet pushes the silhouette from mall retro quartz toward jewelry with a battery. The spare studded leather trades shine for warmth and a softer pull against skin; same stud language, different contact noise against a desk.
The black mask around the LCD tightens the readout and lets the co-branding and INDIGLO treatment read intentional, not stickered-on.
What still behaves like a T80
Listed functions match the usual T80 loadout: chronograph, daily alarm, month / day / date, and INDIGLO backlight. Crystal is acrylic — it will micro-scratch under hard desk duty; it is also the honest choice at this tier. 30 meters water resistance covers rain and sink, not laps.
For pool days, pick a higher WR tier. For a legible digital that does not pretend to be a G-Shock, the family line still fits.
Price and what you are buying
$229 USD buys two straps, metal complexity, and limited-run packaging logic — not a new timekeeping engine. Stack that number against other T80 builds: most of the delta is bracelet machining and collab margin, not horological rarity. Whether it clears the bar depends on whether the spare leather will actually rotate onto the lugs or stay in the box.
Who it is for
Buyers who want INDIGLO legibility and a set-and-forget calendar, but whose clothes lean skate, punk, or loud hardware. The studded steel announces itself under a cuff; the leather spare dials the volume down for nights where a plain NATO would feel off-theme.
If the brief is invisible at the office, this is the wrong SKU; the studs are the point.
Where to buy
Collab set: Dime hosts the line on its official shop- Dime x Timex collection and Timex sells through timex.com. Confirm the exact product URL at checkout in your region. Limited collabs rarely get a second factory run- missing launch-day is a bet on restocks that may not land.
Other T80s: the strip above points at the broader T80 line on Amazon (US) for different finishes. Treat it as a sibling lane — the studded Dime kit may never hit that storefront.
FAQ
When does the Dime x Timex T80 drop?
Dime lists April 11, 2026, 1:00 p.m. EDT. Confirm on Timex and Dime official pages the morning of- brands sometimes shift minutes or add waitlists.
What is in the box?
Watch on the studded stainless bracelet, plus an extra natural leather strap with silver studs for a second look.
Is the crystal sapphire?
No- listed as acrylic. Expect honesty, not scratch immunity.
Can I swim with it?
30 m rating is splash resistance, not a swim spec. Pick something rated 100 m or higher if you want pool peace of mind.
