BAYC and MAYC NFT holders can choose from various Timex watch case styles, including polished gold-tone, rose-gold-tone, silver-tone, and matte black. In addition, owners can have the case back engraved with an image of their Ape or the Ape's unique token number. Timex is also offering classic stainless steel bracelets and Ape-inspired creations.
Alongside the physical watches, a digital version of the collection will be released as NFTs for owners' virtual avatars. The watch's initial price was set at 1.5 ETH, but the partnership faced criticism for overpricing. Timex is not the first watchmaker to enter the metaverse - luxury brand Rolex filed a trademark for its NFT, NFT marketplaces, and cryptocurrency exchange in November 2022.
