The Quintessential 90s watch?
The Timex Ironman Triathlon has a distinctive profile that you can recognize on the wrist even at a distance. I'd also argue the Ironman is the quintessential "90s" watch.
I was missing the Timex Ironman watches I owned back in the day and discovered that Timex released a couple of recent models that harkened back to the original Ironman design cues. It's almost impossible to find an original in good condition. So, of course, I couldn't resist.
Can you think of another watch that screams 1990s the way the Ironman does?

Go Hawks! 😁
In the 90s the Timex Ironman was spotted on the wrists of icons from Chuck Norris to Bill Clinton. But I think the one that inspired me to get one was The X-Files' Fox Mulder (David Duchovny).
