Timex Mk1 40mm Auto

Archive 38s by Sea, Air and Land?: Part 2
Archive Ocean and END. Collabs Oceans Away Among all the Timex Archive Navi 38mm subgroups, there is a group called Ocean. While I love all the 38mm styles, these are the ones that really get to me. They have the nice size, the vintage look and are strong in the military field watch vein. With…
