The New Timex Intrepid X Dimepiece Takes You Back To The 90's
3 min read
You know that feeling when something you didn’t even realize you missed suddenly comes back into your life and it’s like flipping through an old photo album or hearing a song that instantly takes you back? That’s exactly what the Timex Intrepid × Dimepiece Edition delivers. It’s not just a watch it’s a time capsule, remixed for today. Back in the '90s, the original Timex Intrepid was the dive-style watch with attitude. Big, bold, unapologetically chunky. And if you needed proof of its cool factor, just look to JFK Jr. who wore it like it was part of his DNA. Think tousled hair, perfectly rolled-up sleeves, a hint of rebellious prep. The watch was more than an accessory; it was a lifestyle.
Fast-forward to now, and Brynn Wallner, founder of Dimepiece, had one of those lightbulb moments. She came across an old photo of JFK Jr. rocking the Intrepid and thought: why hasn’t this watch made a comeback? So, she did what any style visionary would do she DM’d Timex with the idea. One conversation led to another, and just like that, the ‘90s were knocking on our door again with a twist.
Enter the Timex Intrepid × Dimepiece Edition a modern tribute to the original, but tailored for today’s tastes. Gone is the oversized 46mm case; in its place is a much more versatile 36mm stainless-steel case that feels just right on any wrist. The vibe? Still rugged. Still elegant. Just way more wearable. Look closer and the details tell the whole story. The cream-and-black dial hits that sweet spot between minimal and memorable. The INDIGLO® backlight? Yep, it’s still here and activated by a pusher at 9 o’clock in Brynn’s signature pop of purple. That same purple carries over to the second hand and hour markers, tying the whole look together like a flash of neon on a vintage windbreaker.
The black synthetic rubber strap keeps things sporty, while the slide rule bezel and 100-meter water resistance remind you that this isn’t just for show. It’s technical, but not intimidating. Retro, but not stuck in the past. And best of all? It’s gender-neutral, just like everything Brynn and Dimepiece stand for. This is a watch that doesn’t care what box you tick it just wants to be worn. Because this isn’t about “his” or “hers.” It’s about the vibe. That mix of prep-school polish and downtown edge. The kind of piece that feels as natural on a sun-drenched yacht as it does at a café in Brooklyn. It's a tribute to the golden age of the '90s, but also a nod to how far we’ve come.
With vintage expert Alan Bedwell (of Foundwell fame) joining the project, the result is a limited edition of 860 pieces that feels equal parts collector’s gem and everyday essential. So whether you lived through the '90s or just love the aesthetic, the Timex Intrepid × Dimepiece Edition is your invitation to relive the past without losing sight of the now. It’s bold, it’s nostalgic, and it’s fresh in all the right ways.
