This watch has been out of stock for so long that it was assumed they had simply discontinued the model.
But it’s back.
Pure class. Incredible retro-influenced style, yet it looks fantastic up against a modern suit and tie look, or with a trousers/dress-shirt/sportcoat combo, or with chinos and a polo. You get the idea.
“That’s a Timex?” Indeed it is.
Lots of class. Not much cash.
37mm is on trend but looks and wears noticeably bigger. Not big, but bigger than the 37mm specs would indicate. It’s got a bit of presence thanks to the cushioned shape case. Tall, domed, “period correct” acrylic crystal, but it still slides easily under a shirtcuff. Mercury-silver-tone face. Very subtle etched-look texture to the dial. Think the grooves on a vinyl record. But again, it’s subtle. You have to tip the watch to really pick up on the texture.
37mm case size, but wears surprisingly solid even on average to thicker wrists.
And the movement, at least in the past, hasn’t made the loud Timex “tick” almost all their other quartz watches have. That’s a major plus for many.
Slap a different brand on the face and they could easily charge more. Throw a dependable mechanical or automatic movement in there, along with a fancy name on the dial, and the price would skyrocket.
Tall, domed, “period correct” acrylic crystal.
Previously featured here, here, here, here, and here. So yes, it gets mentioned a lot.
Full review here if you’d like it.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it soon goes out of stock again.
That’s all.
Carry on.
It's nice when a brand warns their customers in advance of raising their prices.
Spring ready sneakers, grooming goods, watches, etc. Saddle up. Amazon's spring sale is on.
New sportcoats. Italian desert boots. J. Crew dips their promo-toes into spring.
From de-scaling irons to shining shoes to smelling coat pits. Let's clean up our act.
New Seikos are on sale, and J. Crew's Suit event is expiring soon.
The two Bs go head to head, collar to collar, and lapel to lapel.
