Bugs Bunny gets a carrot-shaped seconds hand. Tweety puts his arms to work telling the time. And Wile E. Coyote’s latest ACME stunt has a second act hiding in the backlight. Timex’s Looney Tunes collection gives you more to look at than a familiar face printed on a dial.
The collection brings Bugs Bunny, Tweety, Marvin the Martian, Road Runner, and Wile E. Coyote to five established Timex designs. There’s an automatic sports watch, a rotating-character display, two models with hidden illuminated artwork, and a Weekender that makes Tweety part of the time display itself.
US prices range from $169 to $369. Picking a favorite character is the fun part, but the differences in size, materials, and movement give each watch its own appeal.
Bugs Bunny Gets the Automatic M79
At $369, the Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny x Timex M79 Automatic Signature Edition tops the collection. It’s also the only automatic, pairing Bugs Bunny artwork with a stainless steel case and bracelet and a rotating bezel.
The 40mm case measures 14.5mm thick and 46mm from lug to lug. At approximately 148 grams, it’s considerably heavier than the fabric-strap models. That thickness is also something to check if you usually tuck your watch beneath a fitted cuff.
Price: $369
Where to Buy: Timex
Bugs appears on the dark dial alongside a carrot-shaped seconds hand. It’s a small detail that makes good use of the character without taking over the time display. A day-and-date window adds everyday utility, while luminous hands and markers help in limited lighting.
Inside is a Japanese Miyota 8205 automatic movement with approximately 42 hours of power reserve. The exhibition caseback lets you see the mechanism, giving you something else to enjoy besides the dial. The trade-off is familiar to mechanical-watch owners: periodic servicing and less precise timekeeping than a typical quartz watch.
A domed acrylic crystal adds to the retro look, though it picks up scratches more easily than mineral or sapphire glass. Water resistance is 50 meters.
This is the pick if you want the mechanical watch as much as you want Bugs Bunny. The movement and steel bracelet explain the step up in price; the carrot hand supplies the personality.
Bugs and Friends Brings the Cast Together
Can’t settle on one character? The Looney Tunes Bugs and Friends x Timex Standard puts several on one dial for $189.
Bugs Bunny sits beneath the central hands, while a rotating disc reveals other characters through a window. Tweety, Sylvester, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, and Marvin the Martian are among the cast, accompanied by carrot graphics.
The changing display is there for the artwork, not an extra timing function. Quartz handles the timekeeping, with luminous hands and markers and Timex’s INDIGLO backlight helping you read it after dark.

The 40mm silver-tone brass case measures 11mm thick and weighs approximately 54 grams. You also get mineral crystal, 50-meter water resistance, and a black slip-through fabric strap.
The appeal here is the changing cast. You get more of the Looney Tunes lineup without the weight or mechanical upkeep of the M79.
Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote Take Over the Expedition Scout
The Looney Tunes Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote x Timex Expedition Scout turns a field-watch dial into another episode of the characters’ familiar rivalry.
For $169, you get a 40mm gunmetal-tone brass case, tan dial, and brown leather strap. Road Runner looks on as Wile E. Coyote attempts another ACME stunt in the center of the dial.
Activate INDIGLO and you get the punchline: Coyote’s crash landing. It’s a clever use of a feature the Scout already has, turning the backlight into part of the story rather than just a way to check the time.
Price: $169
Where to Buy: Timex
The case measures 10mm thick and 49mm from lug to lug. Quartz timekeeping, luminous hands, an acrylic crystal, and 50-meter water resistance round out the specifications.
Acrylic is relatively resistant to shattering, but it scratches more readily than mineral or sapphire glass. If your watch regularly brushes against hard surfaces, keep that in mind.
The tan dial and leather strap keep the familiar field-watch look. The backlight gag is what gives this Scout its own reason to be on your shortlist.
Marvin the Martian Gets an Easy Reader
The Looney Tunes Marvin the Martian x Timex Easy Reader takes a smaller, slimmer approach to the character-watch idea.
Priced at $169, it pairs a 38mm silver-tone brass case with a black leather strap and star-filled dial. Marvin holds his ray gun, aimed toward a displaced numeral.

Where to Buy: Timex
Press the crown and INDIGLO reveals the ray blast. Like the Coyote model, it gives you a little visual payoff when you turn on the light, without adding another control to learn.
The case measures 9mm thick and 44mm from lug to lug, with a weight of approximately 47 grams. It uses a quartz movement and mineral crystal, with 50-meter water resistance. Quick-release spring bars make strap changes straightforward.
If the M79 looks a little bulky for your wrist, these dimensions give you a more compact alternative. Marvin still gets his moment, just in a watch with a slimmer profile.
Tweety Brings Color to the Weekender
The Looney Tunes Tweety Bird x Timex Weekender rounds out the collection at $169, with a blue dial, matching fabric strap, and silver-tone case.
Tweety’s outstretched arms are the hour and minute hands. He isn’t just decorating the watch; he’s doing the job. It’s a playful way to build the character into the design, although those unusual hand shapes may take a little more attention to read.
Price: $169
Where to Buy: Timex
The 38mm brass case measures 9mm thick and 45.5mm from lug to lug. A quartz movement, mineral crystal, and 50-meter water resistance keep the underlying specifications familiar.
The slip-through fabric strap is easy to swap without removing the spring bars, so changing colors doesn’t require much effort. The compact case and fabric strap also make this a lighter alternative to the steel M79.
There’s no rotating character window or hidden illuminated scene here. Tweety’s moving arms do enough to give the Weekender its own character.
Which Looney Tunes x Timex Watch Should You Buy?
Start with the detail you’d actually enjoy seeing every day. The M79 gives Bugs Bunny fans a mechanical movement and steel bracelet. The Standard rotates through more of the cast, while the Scout and Easy Reader save their best visual trick for the backlight. Tweety’s Weekender puts the character directly to work telling the time.
Then check the fit and upkeep. The M79 is the thickest and heaviest option here, and its automatic movement asks more of you than the four quartz alternatives. Marvin and Tweety both come in at 38mm and 9mm thick if you prefer something more compact.
You don’t need a cartoon watch to be entirely sensible. A carrot seconds hand can be the reason you smile at it. Just make sure the watch underneath fits your wrist and your routine, too.
