Timex 40mm Mk1 Chronograph: The Return
The 40mm chrono is back, with a trade-off How does it go? “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”. I think I will be able to find something nice to say, but, like the new 40mm MK1 auto and the second 36mm manual releases, I’m left with a lot of questions.…

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
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…

Timex Weekender Vintage
A Slice of the Big Weekender Pie Ten years ago, Timex was doing things differently. “Aren’t we all”, you might say?Well, yes. I suppose we all, even corporations, need to keep moving forward. I keep going back to the pre-COVID days because the watch market place was so different. Timex used to have fewer releases…

Timex Deepwater Reef 200 41mm Updates
They’re Baaack! I feel an obligation to post about the new versions of the Timex Deepwater Reef 200 41mm titanium models. There is a version with titanium bracelet and a nice looking orange version with bezel insert. You would be forgiven for being confused with these Timex offerings as there were some Deepwater Meridian models…

Mid-century Skin Divers
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. OK, I’ll admit I’m not sure what’s coming yet in this post. I needed to get writing. I have a running list of other topics, but this one keeps nagging me. I have posted on and around the topic of divers and vintage-inspired divers before,…

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…

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…

Caravelle Sea Hunter Reissue
That’s What I’m Talkin’ About! Fresh off reading a May 26, 2020 Hodinkee review of the carbon Doxa 300T LE written by James Stacey, I again consider the current regard for vintage divers in the watch enthusiast space. This Sea Hunter is a perfect example. Mr. Stacey spells out quite clearly the ongoing love for…

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.…
