In the world of air travel, the golden age may never return, with soaring flight delays and cancellations becoming the norm. However, Timex’s Pan Am Waterbury watch allows timepiece collectors and history enthusiasts to fly back in time. After selling out last year, this exclusive collaboration is back in stock and ready to take you on a journey.
The Timex x Pan Am collection features the watchmaker’s classic Waterbury in a 42mm stainless steel case with a leather strap. Priced from $179-$219, this nostalgic watch is available in either a chronograph movement or a date display. It pays tribute to the precision, ergonomics, and unencumbered legibility required by early aviators with bold Arabic indices on its navy-blue dial.
Embracing the Pan Am-inspired design, the watch incorporates the iconic airline’s globe logo on the accent plates, crown, strap hardware, and case back. The metallic blue dial and luminant hands channel the colorways of the defunct airway. With a water resistance of up to 50 meters, these watches are not only stylish but also practical. Each watch comes in a colorful collector gift set, accompanied by a vintage-inspired lapel pin.
Founded in 1927, Pan Am once represented the luxurious Jet Age and billed itself as “the world’s most experienced airline.” Although it filed for bankruptcy in 1991, the airline has left a lasting legacy on both the big and small screens. From the retro ABC series “Pan Am” to appearances in Indiana Jones and James Bond films, Pan Am’s unmistakable presence is felt throughout pop culture. Leonardo DiCaprio even played a con artist and faux Pan Am pilot in “Catch Me If You Can.”
If you’re interested in owning a piece of aviation history, you can shop the Timex x Pan Am collaboration online. These watches not only offer a stylish and timeless design but also pay homage to a bygone era of air travel.

Pack versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched to create different looks. Don’t forget to accessorize with sunglasses, hats, and scarves to complete your travel ensemble.
To make the most of your trip, do some research beforehand and create a flexible itinerary. While it’s important to have a plan, allow room for spontaneity and exploration. Seek out local recommendations for dining, shopping, and entertainment to truly immerse yourself in the culture of your destination.
