    40mm Expedition Sierra and Mk1 Chronos

    Interesting Sierra and MK1 Chronos with Color I was just about to write a post on straps when I stumbled onto some new Timex offerings. It got me stirred up, so I’m switching course temporarily. This is how I always find out about new Timex watches; by accident. I got an email from Timex about…

    Random Watch 3

    Bulova Ocean Snorkel and more Random Thoughts No excuses not to be writing a post now. The World Cup is over so I have to get back to the routine. Man, I was watching a lot of soccer! I can say Spain is a worthy winner. More FIFA scandals, as usual. I thought Argentina was…

  • Timex Navi 41mm Part 1

    Timex Navi 41mm Part 1

    Don’t Forget the 100m gang With all the focus on the newer 200m WR Deepwater offerings I have been forgetting another of Timex’s other water-focused collections. For the last six or eight years I have been following and collecting various Timex watches with the name Navi. I have posted on the 38mm Navi Depth, Navi…

  • Timex Deepwater Arctic Diver

    Timex Deepwater Arctic Diver

    Here we go again When I saw these models I was not sure how to react. With Timex, I keep looking for logical relationships to previous releases and then get confused as to what they are aiming for. Its as if Timex just throws out products to see what sticks. As they release new models…

  • Random Watches #1

    Random Watches #1

    Seiko Big Date SUR 323 I’m going to start doing something new. Instead of so many posts about series of watches or multiple watches, I’m going to try to just get in quicker posts about individual watches I like. This may allow me to write about more watches faster without getting bogged-down in too much…

  • Bulova Marine Stars Old and New (6)

    Bulova Marine Stars Old and New (6)

    More Marine Star Contemplating I did it. I broke my own rules and went against some of my earlier positions. I got a new Bulova Marine Star. By new I mean not preowned, but from retailer. Still, it is not a new release. I got a Marine Star Series C with Precisionist movement; 96B431 with…

  • Timex Atelier Marine 1a

    Timex Atelier Marine 1a

    Intriguing upscale move. Why? Watches can be funny things. We love to discuss them. Its almost as if they exist more for the enthusiast community to talk about than to wear! One can look at a watch from so many different perspectives. Sometimes its technical, sometimes historical; could be emotional or the design details. We…

  • One Watch Collection?

    One Watch Collection?

    How many watches is enough? I read an article by Zach Kazan on Worn & Wound, The Tudor Black Bay and the Myth of the One Watch Collection, October 9, 2025. In it he talked about the concept of having to choose just one of your watches if you could keep only one. It got…

  • Timex Deepwater Meridian

    Timex Deepwater Meridian

    More 200m Divers Into the Mix I was surprised to see a new diver added to Timex’s broad offerings so soon after the release of the Deepwater Reefs. Before I could even get used to the 41mm Reef line, I was befuddled by the Meridian models. They are like an upgraded Tiburón? I hadn’t even…

  • Timex Diver and Diver-Like Survey Part 2: 1991-1995

    Timex Diver and Diver-Like Survey Part 2: 1991-1995

    Things Started to Get Weird I’ve been putting this off. This post is not so much the result of something I am excited about as it is an obligation. I feel like I need to continue to sort out in my mind the background watches from recent decades that have led to today’s Timex divers.…
