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.…

Timex M79(s)
When a 38mm Q Reissue is not enough I couldn’t resist. Writing my last post got me thinking more about the 2019 Q reissue and its follow-on releases. Wow, what a lot to talk about! Starting in 2019, with pre-Covid fanfare, Timex began on a long journey of 38mm Q quartz releases in God-knows-how many…

Timex Diver and Dive-Like Survey Part 1: 1966-1990
A Chunk of Timex History Regarding Diver Themes What an odd and slightly academic title? It just came out. For years I have been thinking about and collecting various Timex models that are related to the concept of a Dive Watch. One of my favorite categories of watches is the the Dive Watch category. I…

Timex American Documents MadeWorn Collab
A Very Different American Documents Watch It is time to get back to one of my favorite topics: Timex. I am always wearing something from my Timex collection and thinking about Timex and trying to follow new releases. One thing I am not doing is acquiring as many Timex watches, either new or preowned. I…

Timex xBespoke Post Viscount
Retro Reinterpretation Fun I have so many things to write about but have been doing everything but! So, I’m just going to start typing. This post is about another watch I never expected to see. A reinterpretation of the late ’70s to early 80’s Viscount. It has been a favorite of mine with its military-style…

Timex Mk1 40mm Auto
The Mk1s are back after five years When I saw the email from Timex about the release of some new Mk1s, I was on it. You see, I have a soft spot for all things Mk1. The Mk1 line was a lot of things; a military watch, a fashion watch, a people’s watch. It sort…

Timex 36mm Mk1(s)
When is a Camper a Mk1? I’m glad to be writing about Timex again. I’m especially glad to be writing about new Mk1s, some of my favorite Timex watches. I woke up to look at my emails and saw one from Timex announcing the new Mk1s. The image before me was the one above of…

MVMT X Nigel Cabourn Diver LE
Unlikely Collaboration? I did it because of Nigel. A few hours ago I knew really nothing about MVMT or its watches. Did those two guys do a tv commercial a few years ago? I use no social media apps except for Pinterest, maybe? I don’t have any social media apps on my phone. I had…
