Amazon.com Product Description
The Timex T79061 My First Timex analog watch is the perfect timepiece
complement to more dressy outings. With a more adult design, it has a
round, mid-sized silver stainless steel watch case the highly polished
bezel that frames a white dial background with easy-to-read Arabic
numerals and black baton hands (with seconds hand). It also offers
water resistance to 30 meters and a blue genuine leather strap.
The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial
using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses
less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling
your watch battery to last longer.
Timex Brand
The Timex Watch Company
Timex Group B.V. is one of
the best-known American watch companies. Timex's U.S. headquarters are
located in Middlebury Connecticut and it has substantial operations in
China, the Philippines and India and full scale sales companies in
Canada, the UK, France and Mexico.
The company began in 1854 as
Waterbury Clock in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley, known during the
nineteenth century as the "Switzerland of America." Sister company
Waterbury Watch manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket
watch in 1880. During World War I, Waterbury began making wristwatches,
which had only just become popular, and in 1933 it made history by
creating the first Mickey Mouse clock under license from Walt Disney,
with Mickey's hands pointing the time.
During World War II,
Waterbury renamed itself U.S. Time Company. In 1950 the company
introduced a wristwatch called the Timex. Over the next three decades,
Timex was sold through a series of advertisements which emphasized its
durability by putting the watch through "torture tests," such as
falling over the Grand Coulee Dam or being strapped to the propeller of
an outboard motor, with the slogan "It takes a licking and keeps on
ticking." With the help of former Olympic broadcaster, spokesman John
Cameron Swayze, sales took off. The company later became Timex
Corporation, then Timex Group and, to date, has sold over one billion
watches.
The company has remained very competitive and the
Timex brand continues its dominance through present day. Its primary
market remains the United States and Canada, although the Timex brand
is sold worldwide due to its ability to capitalize on its strong brand
image and reputation for quality.
One of the most successful
and important features available on many Timex watches is the Indiglo
backlight system. Indiglo is a brand name of Indiglo Corporation,
solely owned by Timex for licensing purposes. Timex electroluminescent
lamps, branded Indiglo, were introduced in 1992 in the Ironman watch
line. They were an immediate success. The Indiglo® lamp uniformly
lights the surface of the Timex’s watch dials in a manner that makes
the dial read very easily in many different light settings. In some
newer watches the Indiglo backlight only lights up the numbers, rather
than the entire LCD display, which is achieved by means of a
specialized film that inverts the LCD transmissivity.
Today,
Timex Group products are manufactured in the Far East and in
Switzerland often based on technology that continues to be developed in
the United States and in Germany. With a large and varied line of
watches, Timex has the style for everyone. From the locker room to the
board room, there is a great Timex style time-piece for you.

it has been tampered with, misused, abused, or altered; for example:
moisture damage sufficient to affect the proper function of the watch;
damage to the case; or visible cracking of the crystal.
Timex
reserves the right to charge you for a replacement battery, if the
battery in your watch is depleted. No additional charge will be made

made.
