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 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 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…

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…

Timex Allied Coastline
A Crossover in the Archive Era It took a while for the Allied Coastline (AC) to grow on me. At first contact is seemed strange. I was mostly interested in 38mm and 40mm Timex lines and the Coastline was 43mm and I was having trouble seeing where it fit in with the Mk1s, Allieds and…

Timex Allied LT
Vintage military twist on the Scout I’ve been holding back on posting about the Allied LT series. At first I was trying to get a grip on the basic Allied line up as well as the more limited Archive Allied group so didn’t want to muddle things even more. Now that the dust has settled…

The Plastic Case Alternative Time to get writing again as well as back on the topic of Timex. Its been a busy summer, particularly August, so I have not been starting enough new posts! I have been thinking a lot about Timex watches recently as you might have noticed in my last post, but also…
