The Timex Marlin is a tribute to the brand’s dress watches from the 60s, made with an exacting eye for original detail. When first released in 2017, the Marlin took the watch world by surprise as it was the first mechanical watch they had released since 1982. Extraordinarily well received, Timex has since grown the line to include several colors, as well began to produce many other lines of mechanical watches. A fine example of a classic mid-century dress watch, the Marlin is a welcome and fun addition to any watch collection.

Featuring a 34 x 41 x 10mm case with a large domed acrylic crystal, you’d be excused if you mistook it for an actual vintage watch. Timex stayed true to the original in size, shape and design, creating a timepiece that is also a time capsule. The polished steel case has an elegant, thin bezel and slender, almost delicate lugs both of which play second fiddle to the domed dial. Available in several colors, the stamped dial features exotic typography that adds a whimsical, but stylish flair to the design.

In a world of tech and ever increasing speeds, the humble hand-wound movement has an old-school charm that is undeniable. The Marlin makes good use of this with the simple manual movement within. Wind it when you wake up, and watch it go.
