Timex marks its 170th anniversary with a limited-edition release of the Marlin Jet, a timepiece that embodies the brand’s enduring legacy of craftsmanship and innovation. With only 170 units available worldwide, this exclusive watch blends retro-futuristic aesthetics with modern design cues, offering collectors and enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own a piece of horological history.
A Tribute to Legacy
The Marlin Jet 170th Anniversary Edition pays homage to the iconic designs that have defined Timex over its 170-year journey. Featuring a 38mm stainless steel case, the watch showcases a white concave dial adorned with the 170th anniversary logo and a vibrant hacking second hand. The date window at 3 o’clock ensures practical functionality, while the luminant hands provide legibility in low-light conditions.
Retro-Futuristic Design
One of the standout features of the Marlin Jet is its domed Hesalite crystal, which envelops the entire top surface of the case. This unique element creates a seamless blend between the grooved bezel, bearing the Marlin name, and the flat case sides. The exhibition case back mirrors the domed contour, offering a captivating view of the automatic movement within.
Crafted for Durability
The stainless steel case ensures the watch remains resistant to corrosion, scratches, and daily wear. Complementing this robust construction is a black double-layered woven Perlon strap, introducing a subtle textural element to the design. The slip-through strap is not only practical but also versatile, allowing for easy adjustments and replacements.
Precision and Performance
Powered by a mechanical automatic movement, the Marlin Jet 170th Anniversary Edition operates without a battery, harnessing the energy of your wrist’s natural motion. The movement ensures reliable timekeeping while offering a power reserve that caters to everyday wear. With water resistance up to 50 meters, the watch is suitable for light swimming but not recommended for diving or snorkeling.
