) (R), the #1 selling watch brand in the United States*, is excited to announce 
the release of its newest special edition collection in collaboration with 
Netflix's Stranger Things(R). The Timex x Stranger Things collection brings 
together two cultural phenomena that will turn the watch world Upside Down, 
launched just in time for Season 4 of the sci-fi-horror-drama to make its 
debut. Volume 1 of Stranger Things Season 4 premiered May 27 and is currently 
streaming globally on Netflix, with Volume 2 launching on July 1, 2022.

Set in the early 1980s, Stranger Things is rife with retro throwbacks, from 
synth-heavy musical undercurrents to period-perfect wardrobe aesthetics. For 
this special edition collection, a brave exploration of the Timex archive has 
resurfaced three cult classics from this iconic era—Timex Camper, Timex T80, 
and the unforgettable Timex Atlantis.

"With the Timex x Stranger Things collection, two cult franchises join forces 
to create a capsule that is intrinsic to this pop culture moment," says Shari 
Fabiani, Sr. Vice President Brand Marketing and Creative Services at Timex 
Group. "Through rich storytelling and ageless design, these special edition 
styles proudly resurrect one of history's most expressive decades that 
transcends through all generations."

Authentic Stranger Things graphics creep across all three styles within this 
otherworldly collection. Sported by Lucas Sinclair in the forthcoming season, 
the original Timex Camper now permeates the shadows with an ominous INDIGLO(R) 
backlight and hidden image. The two digital watches, Timex T80 and Timex 
Atlantis, which made their first debut around the time of Will Byers' 
mysterious disappearance in 1983, feature a customized alarm with the Stranger 
Things melody. Viewers may have already spotted Sheriff Hopper's Timex Atlantis 
in previous seasons—an iconic watch Timex has rereleased in his honor. Things 
really start to get eerie once the clock strikes 3:00pm, revealing a backwards 
number 3. The reason? Only time will tell.

The Timex x Stranger Things capsule is available in three styles: Camper 
(40mm), Timex T80 (34mm), Timex Atlantis (40mm), each retailing for $89. Key 
features include a stainless-steel bracelet or fabric strap, resin case and 
strap, INDIGLO(R) backlight, customized alarm, and much more.

The Timex x Stranger Things collection will be available for purchase starting 
today on Timex.com. To view/download assets for the collection and campaign,
