It looks nice but what's the point of the 24hr sub dial?
AM/PM indicator?
The position of it in the render would suggest so.
Very little, but I think the dial layout looks rather good. Super to see established manufacturers coming out with nice-looking mechanicals at this kind of price. The kind of thing that might help to get a young person interested.
What movements are these mechanical timex’s using these days?

Miyota...I think.
Cheers mate,
That looks half tidy that. I can ignore the 24 hr dial, could come in handy on occasions.
I like it.
Just looked at the details on the Timex UK site, depending on the movement and the 24hr dial operation, it could be a winner.

£279 from Timex. I suppose you get what you pay for. It's a very nice looking watch.
so the real price is sub-£200 in one of their sales.
Almost perfect but then they go and write 'Marlin' in great big bloody letters at 6 o clock on the bezel.
I think they have done that because it’s inside the crystal - it’s to showcase the design feature.

I'm not really feeling the appeal, the Jet age and sector dial 'thing' surely done a whole league better by Eddie's own Transglobal models...Plus it's quite tall increases the chance of the crystal taking a whack, the 19 mm lugs can be a pain and minimal water resistance...sure it's cheap but really meh, not for me.
I really like it, but it's a touch too big for my taste.
Like or dislike, there's some real thought gone into this design, a conscious effort to step just a little outside the conventional, and a little more of a quality feel to the final product than their more mainstream stuff. I'm a fan of their Giorgio Galli range too - great looking watches, nicely executed - if I ever wore dress watches I'd own one.
