Returning for a new collaborative offering, END. and Timex invite Japanese streetwear veterans SOPH. into the fold, applying their restrained take on modern streetwear style to a duo of heritage military-inspired MK1™ timepieces.
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Hirofumi Kiyonaga’s Tokyo-based label, Timex’s historic status blends with SOPH.’s honed take on minimalist street-ready aesthetics to deliver a contemporary look that serves both casual and formal occasions. Commemorating this landmark moment in SOPH.’s lifespan, the two brands combine the perfect embodiment of practicality and effortless style to present a timepiece that celebrates the joy of simplicity.
Based on the original MK1 watch issued to the US Marines in 1982 – first manufactured to standards that destined it to be a throw-away watch with a permanent case back – Timex has updated the model to capture the military-inspired look but with a modern twist. An exclamation of quiet sophistication, the END. x SOPH. x Timex MK1 watch distils simple design and low-key elegance to showcase a vision of functionality. Presented with an interchangeable black webbing strap and a buckle closure, both colourways offer style rooted in a black and white colour scheme. Punctuated with a pop of orange to the second hand, this accessory encapsulates SOPH.’s aim of producing sophisticated casual products for daily use. Water resistant to ensure a high level of practicality whether you’re navigating the urban sprawl or connecting with nature, the MK1 is the perfect addition to any watch rotation.
Housed in a tonal, white box and complete with embossed SOPH. branding, the three collaborators seek to find beauty in the simpler things.
