IRON MAIDEN X TIMEX
2026-05-18Timex and Iron Maiden have built a watch that works on two frequencies. The 1986 Tribute, reimagines the rare original Iron Maiden Fan Club watch from 1986 through the lens of Somewhere in Time, the band’s sixth studio album and one of heavy metal’s most visually ambitious records. The result is a 40mm black stainless steel piece that reveals a second version of itself every time the lights go down.
On the dial, Cyborg Eddie appears in blue against a dark background, flanked by the Iron Maiden logo and the words “Somewhere in Timex” on the inner ring. It reads as a clean, intentional piece of band merch elevated to watchmaking. Then the INDIGLO backlight activates, and the watch becomes something else entirely. Eddie shifts from blue to an otherworldly red glow, transforming the dial from a static portrait into a dynamic object that mirrors the album’s core argument about time and perception
