Clean, classic look. Not sure I’d pay the asking price though

That is a very dull watch, even with the case cutouts.
I'd wear it backwards so the display back shows instead of that very boring dial.
Speaking of dull, if you're going to be rude about every single new release that someone starts a thread about, could you please think of some better insults?Originally Posted by hughtrimble
Very nice watch but not sure about the 'ruby'. Doesn't feel like it adds much to the overall aesthetic.
It’s great that Timex are listening to their customers and making automatic watches again. But to me this is a pretty bland watch. No mention of the type of movement - is it Chinese? At best it’s gonna be a Miyota, and no sapphire either? At £425 I’d say there’s better value to be had elsewhere, not least Seiko, Orient or TimeFactors - ie same or better spec for much less, and probably a more interesting watch too.
Of Timex most recent offerings my favourites have been the mechanical Marlin (not the oversized automatic ones), and the new automatic Navi. I had and sold the quartz Navi and it was a good little watch.
The movement is 9039 - you need to scroll down a bit
Think bit expensive for the movement. Also, would have been nice it was smaller.

It's not bad. Could be a tad smaller, and lose the ruby for my tastes, but it's half decent, and not bad value for money either.
Well I like it, and would be happy with the size. In this day and age the price doesn’t seem to excessive. I guess as with most things, you can’t please everyone!
That's quite nice. For the money it could do with a date window.
Apparently it comes with a small brush for just this purpose, I think that may be a first!
If I hadn't recently spaffed a fair bit of my limited budget up the wall, I'd be tempted by this - I think a lot of thought has gone into creating an elegant watch that isn't just a me-too "tribute" to someone else's design. Particularly love the casework and strap.

I like it clean and simple.
I think that it looks good.
Way too big for my taste though - would have been much better at 36mm or 38mm at a push

It's nice, but the aesthetics are essentially a rehash of an 80's Seiko with case cut outs for a somewhat optimistic price.

I like it as well. Very clean which may not appeal to all but it is hard to get a minimalistic design right. As said above not sure about the ruby on the dial but overall well done and the case looks quite unique. Hard to tell the finish from some pictures, hope they nailed that. Strap choice is also not a safe one, neat.
For me it's in the category of like but wouldn't own. I like the look of it and would probably compliment someone if I saw them wearing it, but probably wouldn't buy it myself.
I wonder if Fred Olsen would ware one. He owns Timex but he's getting on a bit at 90.
Boring, too big and overpriced. Could be argued I'm in the 'would not give it a second look' camp.
The case-side cut-outs remind me of the AP Code 11-59.
As others here have said, I like it but I won't be buying it.
The dimensions are nice, and thankfully the movement is both hacking and winding, but I agree that the price is a bit steep for Timex usual segment. Perhaps they're trying to move up?
details that could only have come from Giorgio — a high-accuracy automatic movement, a fully-custom case design and a domed K1 mineral
That’s what you are paying for.
I like it. Its clean and almost minimal, without being plain. Hard balance to strike for the most part.
Pricing is off though for the movement though.
Clean dial - price bit steep tho
