References: goodhoodstore & highsnobiety
Goodhood worked in conjunction with Timex once again to introduce the latest iteration of the MK1 watch -- this time, the duo looked to cult journalism podcast 'S-Town.' The custom timepiece celebrates the podcast through a series of text that reads "Nil boni hodie" and "Diem perdidi," which means "nothing good today, a wasted day."
In terms of the watch's design, it is complete in predominantly black hues, along with bright shock pink and white. It is encased in a 36mm resin shell and features a special Japanese Quartz movement. Additional details include a grosgrain nylon wrist strap and water resistance of up to 30m. The new collaborative MK1 watch is now available for purchase online at Goodhood.
