This New Timex Automatic Might Make You Forget About Your Vintage Omega
Timex has introduced the Marlin Draper Automatic, a new watch that stands out within their collection, particularly due to its unique barrel-shaped cushion profile inspired by 1960s design. The 37mm stainless steel case is modestly finished with vertical brushing and a polished bezel, providing a classic look that emphasizes period correctness. The watch features an automatic movement with a quick date function, luminous hands, and an exhibition caseback, all while maintaining a clean dial layout that avoids unnecessary clutter. Variations include a black dial with an all-stainless case, a gold-on-silver colorway with a white dial, and a white dial with a brown leather strap for a softer presentation. Priced between $269 and $309, the Marlin Draper Automatic embodies Timex's commitment to offering thoughtfully styled automatic watches that reflect a specific era without overly modernizing the design. This release demonstrates Timex's ability to delve into its archives and present unexpected yet accessible timepieces, reminding enthusiasts that exploring their offerings can yield exciting finds and interesting releases.
