75-Lap Sleek O.V.A. (Optimal Viewing Angle) Series

The Ironman Triathlon 75-Lap Sleek O.V.A. was born from the understanding that elite athletes will seek out equipment that provides a real performance advantage.

To create a watch that performs like no other, Timex studied the body in motion. It was discovered that placing the watch on the narrow inside-edge of the wrist provides the best line of sight for running, cycling, skiing and many other athletic activities. By ignoring the convention of placing the watch on the wide, flat part of the wrist, Timex created a multi-function timepiece that is easy to see without having to twist the arm and risk breaking form. The unique shape of the watch also places the START/LAP button in the best possible position for instant and mistake-proof access.

The case and strap are sculpted like a second skin, ensuring maximum comfort. Constructed of robust materials including stainless steel top rings and mineral glass lenses, the O.V.A. series is built to withstand years of hard use. The end result is less effort seeing the time, surer tracking of splits, the best possible fit and an extra measure of durability. The 8 styles in the O.V.A. series are offered in a range of colors in both unisex and mid-size models.

Introduced in 1986, the Timex Ironman Triathlon watch has been among the best selling timepieces across the globe for seventeen years running.

The Sleek collection is the culmination of nearly two decades of technological and aesthetic refinement to the Ironman line of watches.

 With a combination of advanced features, new easier to read displays with oversize digits and bold, aerodynamic designs, the Sleek line stands out as the evolutionary leader among performance sport wrist instruments.

It's available in 200, 100 and 50 lap varieties, with a selection of integrated polyurethane and infinitely adjustable Fast Wrap straps.

Prior to introducing the original Ironman Triathlon watch, Timex did exhaustive research into the timekeeping needs of all kinds of athletes and fitness enthusiast.

 Accordingly, the company was gratified, but not surprised, when the Ironman Triathlon quickly became the best selling watch in America. What did surprise the company was to see the watches being worn in the workplace and other more formal settings.

 The Ironman Triathlon watch had become a declaration of the wearer's athletic lifestyle, acceptable apparel from the gym to the office and anywhere in between.

The Dress Ironman series is for people that want a slightly more traditional watch but still want to project a sporty image. Available in Chronograph, Shock Analog and 50-Lap Combo styles, all Dress Ironman watches are constructed of authentic sport equipment materials like stainless steel and high-impact polyurethane.

With an unbeatable combination of features, iconic styling, legendary durability and affordability, the 8 Lap Ironman Triathlon watch has been a perennial best-seller.

Not content to leave well enough alone, Timex has replaced the venerable 8 Lap model with the totally new 30 Lap Ironman Triathlon watch.

More than just 22 additional laps, these new watches are completely updated with features like on-screen setting prompts, dual time zones and larger digits.

The 30 Lap Ironman Triathlon is available in full and mid size models with a choice of long-lasting resin or infinitely adjustable Fastwrap straps.

In 1997 Timex introduced Ironman with Data Link, the company's first watch to combine the convenience of a personal organizer with the performance of a multi-function sport timekeeping device. While merging those capabilities proved to be a success, recent advancements in technology have allowed many noteworthy improvements to this already over-achieving sport watch. The latest version of the Timex Ironman Data Link is significantly improved in terms of both memory and versatility, without similar increases in size or price.

The Timex Ironman Data Link USB comes with software to download contacts with multiple numbers, appointments, schedules, and a host of other useful personal from a PC or Mac to the watch. The software allows the user to enter the data manually or to import data from your Microsoft Outlook ® messaging and collaboration client. Sport timing information can also be uploaded to the Timex Trainer software, allowing athletes to automatically log their workouts.

The computer-to-watch connection makes this watch easy to customize and operate. With the PC software, users can set the watch, customize the features and load custom watch applications, making the watch even easier and faster to operate.

Users can easily allocate the memory to the features they use most. For example, a person with a busy schedule might choose to use the memory primarily for appointments and apportion less to countdown timers and lap timing. Serious athletes may choose to reserve space to create a wrist-top training log. Reallocating memory to keep pace with shifting needs is easily accomplished.

The watch also has the ability to operate small customized applications. Several "applets" will ship with the software including a game, counter, world time and pulse calculator. In addition, Timex has a complete Software Developers Kit available at www.timex.com/developer. This enables third parties to develop applications for the watch.

It would be easy to assume that a watch with so many functions would, by necessity, be big and heavy. To the contrary, the Timex Ironman Data Link USB is similar in size and styling to its siblings in the Ironman series, the number one selling sport watch line in the world. Further, the Data Link equipped watch has all of the great styling, features and durability that the Ironman series is famous for.

The Timex Data Link USB watch also features a crown to make setting the watch and scrolling though lists fast and easy.
