Timex M416

Description

After the first module Timex M281, in 1978 already, Timex released their second version of LCD quartz modules, which were so mature and modern, that they don’t have a real collectors value any more, although they are from the 1970s.

On the dial side, a simple metall mask was used, which realized the at the same time the connected to the housing contact surfaces of the contacts converts.

Interestingly, this module was, unlike the other (quartz-) movements of Timex no longer made in Taiwan.
