There have been many products released in support of the 2025 Superman movie from DC Studios co-head and director James Gunn. Like, a lot. However, this watch is probably the most stylish of them all. Created in collaboration with James Gunn himself, the Timex x Superman Marlin Jet Automatic puts a twist on the iconic Marlin Jet retro-futuristic aesthetic with blue and red accents combined with the Superman symbol on the front and an exhibition case back with James Gunn’s signature. UPDATE: Available now here at Timex!

James Gunn said this about the design of the watch: “What makes Superman such an enduring and beloved hero is not solely his physical might but his innate goodness and strength of heart,” said James Gunn. “I wanted to design a watch that embodied those values, and who better to bring it to life than Timex. This watch is a tribute to a hero who’s timeless, and to fans who never stop believing in him.”

“Timeless” is a good word to describe this watch, because the design is classic and, in our opinion, sophisticated enough to wear with a suit. If you’re up for it, you can pre-order the Superman watch on August 26th at 7am PT / 10am ET directly from Timex here for $369. That’s quite affordable for an automatic movement, especially one that’s a limited edition (UPDATE: Only 1000 will be sold, so you’ll want to be ready early). In fact, the Timex Marlin Jet line has a reputation for delivering quality and style at a bargain price. You can find some gorgeous Marlin Jet models for under $300. Note that the watch is expected to arrive in November, so if you have a Superman fan on your shopping list, you can absolutely blow them away with this watch if you’re lucky enough to get one.
The Timex x Superman Marlin Jet Automatic has a 38mm stainless steel case, a Japanese movement with 21 jewels, a scratch-resistant crystal face, a leather strap, and is individually numbered. The full list of features can be found below.

James Gunn designed the watch alonside Giorgio Galli, the Creative Director at Timex. Galli had the following to say about the partnership:
“Designing a watch is like telling a story: every line, curve, and material has meaning,” said Galli. “Collaborating with James, a master of cinematic storytelling, felt natural. Together, we created a timepiece as enduring as Superman himself: crafted in steel, built with purpose, and designed to stand the test of time.”
