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,…

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 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…

Marine Star Glory Days Part 5
Some more great finds It’s been a strange summer so far. Non-watch projects have kept me away from writing about watches. I have been reading a lot about watches, as usual, but trying to buy fewer watches and even trying to sell a few! That has been harder than expected..I continue to work with my…

Seiko 5 Sample
Taking the Plunge (and hike) with Old and New I was writing more than one post at a time. Sometimes I start a post topic and get side tracked. Or research for one delays things, so I start another. I started reading about the Seiko 5 lines, both old and new, recently. As I read…
