In the procduct pictures shows the long second hand is "moving"
Love the numerals on this one. Very art deco and vintage, even better on a budget
Timex killed it on this one!! I missed the blue one so got it on eBay instead!
I completely agree with you, but need to note that it's easier to agree when I recognise that isn't my genre, so I'm talking in terms of advice to others. I think this is a smashing looking design for the generally busy looking chronograph dials. There are lots of contrasting elements and I think the visual balance comes from both the date and the sundials placed against the heavy hour markers. The bracelet really upgrades the experience. Must be a great choice for some.
So similar to the Dan Henry 1964!
This actually looks clean and simple, dressy while still being sporty. I like this enough that if timex was ever to come out with a mechanical version of this with of course better material used in it's construction to match the mechanical nature of the watch, I truly think it would have some actual legs and become truly iconic in no time. Looks wise it's got everything aligned except for the quartz movement.
I would rather have a plexi crystal than mineral. You can polish plexi.
It's ok I guess but to really stand out they're big enough to develop a new quartz flyback movement offering 5 centrally mounted hands for both telling & stopping the time... ie the best stopwatch on any watch at any price. Imagine if Timex did something so bold?
Very nice design. I especially like that last version, the panda cream dial on the bracelet. Yes a mechaquartz would have been better and I don’t see the point of a 24hour subdial. It would have been cleaner to drop that, make it bicompax, and have the date at 6. Fortunately there’s lots of options available with that design. I will send you a picture of my Lorier Gemini Nero which I recently managed to get hold of which for me an excellent looking vintage chronograph, like the Heuer’s of old. Cheers Tim for another WOTW!
I remember Timex from my childhood :-) But for me there is only one quartz watch and that is the Breitling B-1, in the old version, because of the dual LCD display!
Very interesting, thank you Tim
Yeah. Handsome. Not really into complications, personally.
Thanks for the review Tim, even though I think Timex is just a glorified fashion watch brand nowadays....bracelet does look OK though.
I had Timex watches in the 1970s, so have some affection for them, and the overall look of this Marlin chrono is really nice for the price.
A Dan Henry Chrono in this price range, or slightly more, is much prettier!
The renders give the impression that the 6 o'clock dial is the chronograph second hand making the tachymeter useless , but the pictures tell a different story that the centre second hand is the chronograph , can you please confirm the pictures are correct and the renders are wrong.
It is a mecha-quartz movement with a smooth chronograph sweeping second. Did you see the watch in person?
What's with the
better than the Q!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stellar review
