Up for sale is an exceptionally rare, collector-grade example of the iconic Nike Triax Linear (Model WR0038) from the early 2000s. A holy grail of Y2K techwear, Gorpcore, and futuristic archive fashion, this premium metal-case iteration is highly sought after—especially in this state of preservation.
Most surviving examples of this watch suffer from severe "resin rot" where the rear polymer disintegrates. This piece defies the odds: the notoriously fragile dark grey polymer casing around the back screws is 100% intact, solid, and structurally perfect with absolutely no crumbling, dry rot, or cracking.
The stainless steel case back is in beautiful, clean condition, clearly displaying the Nike swoosh, model stamps, and its unique individual production serial number: 151790.
Condition Details:
- Polymer Shroud: Fully intact, stable, and completely solid (incredibly rare for this model).
- Case Back: Very clean, polished stainless steel with sharp, legible engravings.
- Case & Bezel: Striking asymmetrical metallic finish with only minor signs of light vintage wear.
- Display: Sharp, clear digital screen with no fading or missing segments. Time, mode, and backlight functions work perfectly.
- Bracelet: Original matching stainless steel integrated link bracelet.
- Water Resistance: Original factory rating of 100M (Untested due to vintage nature).
This is a true time-capsule piece perfect for serious archive collectors or high-end Y2K styling.
