One of the cool things about joining the Timex Affiliate program (beside commissions) is that I get a chance to look ahead and see some amazing watches that are on their way to market. There are several enthusiast oriented watches that are coming from the Timex x Pan Am collaboration.
Pan Am Background
Founded in 1927, Pan Am was an original pioneering American airline that was known for leadership in international air travel. While Pan Am went bankrupt and ceased operations in 1991, the brand's logos and trademarks remain well-recognized and strongly attached to some of the most glamorous eras of passenger aviation.

The Pan Am trademarks have been bought and are now used by a transportation holding company. There have also been multiple attempts to revive the brand as an airline. While Pan Am will likely never soar to their previous altitudes, the Timex x Pan Am collaboration watches are quite inspiring. Let's take a look at a few.

The Timex x Pan Am Automatic Ace
This Timex Waterbury Automatic has an amazing look and should be flying out of the Timex online inventory with expected shipping dates between October 31 and November 14th, 2025. The airliner silhouette at 12 o'clock and on the strap below 6 o'clock are subtle, but amazing to see.

Timex x Pan Am Automatic Ace (Affiliate Link) |
The watch has a 21-jewel Japanese Automatic movement from Miyota, a 41mm diameter case, and 100-meters of water resistance in a stainless steel case with traditional pilot's watch style. It has the Pan Am logo in the bottom half of the watch, on the exhibition caseback, and on the crown. You can pre-order this watch here on the Timex website and I will receive a small commission to help support this blog.
Timex x Pan Am GMT Watch
GMT watches were once the watch of choice for jet setters and other world travelers. That makes it the perfect watch for an airline collaboration. The Timex x Pan Am GMT watch has a 39mm diameter recycled stainless steel case, a quartz GMT movement, and a second-hand that evokes a tiny airplane. The Pan Am logo can be found on the lower part of the blue dial, engraved on the crown and filled with a rich blue paint, on grommets near each lug, and on the caseback.

Timex Pan Am GMT (Affiliate Link to Timex) |
This watch is available now here on the Timex website. If you order, the affiliate link will generate a small commission for this website. According to the Timex site, several hundred people are visiting this watch each day. It may go fast.
While these watches are upmarket for Timex, they are still quite affordable for most watch collectors. They would make an interesting addition to any watch collection.
