What makes it stand out
The modern version of the Marlin was the first mechanical watch Timex had made in over 30 years when it was rolled out in 2017. It's based on a 1960s model and Timex's designers were obviously not shy about sticking to the original model's modest dimensions, just 34 mm in diameter. Under a domed acrylic crystal, the hour numerals on the glossy silver dial are charmingly retro in their curvilenar font.
