This is a vintage Timex Hotline 100 Calculator/Databank watch originally released in 1994.
The Timex Hotline 100 is a highly collectible, rare data bank and calculator wristwatch released by Timex in 1994.
Launched as a direct competitor to Casio's dominant data bank lineup, this retro time-piece stands out for its advanced 1990s digital features and its distinctive layout.
Key Specifications & Features
- Data Storage: Built-in phone book capable of storing up to 100 memory entries.
- Display: An innovative 18-character scrolling display used to read names and data.
- Calculator: An 8-digit calculator that supports constant calculations, accessible via a physical keypad.
- No-Loss Memory: A major engineering advantage of the Hotline 100 was its ability to retain stored data during battery changes, a feature many contemporary competitors lacked.
- Illumination: Equipped with Timex’s signature Indiglo backlight (though some variants shipped with a basic microlight), ensuring exceptional low-light legibility.
- Timekeeping Tools: Includes a 24-hour chronograph with split-time functionality, a countdown timer, a daily alarm, and dual time zone support.
Design & Collectability
The watch features a distinctive rectangular physical keypad with a reflective acrylic base. Because it was produced in far fewer numbers than Casio's equivalent models (like the CA-53W), the Hotline 100 is significantly harder to find today. On the vintage market, well-maintained pre-owned models routinely fetch premium vintage prices often listed by collectors on platforms.
