This watch was a promotional item for milkmen in the UK. Starting in 1976 the business began advertising on TV, featuring their signature red and white color scheme. These adverts continued in the early 1980s. This matches up with a time where Timex was known for such collaborations.
I managed to find an auction lising with the original packaging and band. You can see the model number printed on the box, identifying this piece as a Timex Mercury.
