TIMEX Introduces The Marlin® Automatic Collection

MIDDLEBURY, Conn., Oct. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TIMEX, a global leader in watchmaking for more than 160 years, introduces the iconic 1960s Marlin case with a self winding, automatic movement.  The Marlin® Automatic collection is a reissue of the classic Marlin design now featuring a mechanical movement powered by the wearer's physical activity. The mainspring is wound automatically as you move and provides energy to run the watch.

With a sleek dial, domed acrylic crystal and a rich leather strap, TIMEX stayed true to the mid-century design of its original Marlin — a watch known for its ability to 'take a licking and keep on ticking.' The new design features an exhibition case back, putting the Marlin's movement on full display. Functional and beautiful - the watch features 21 jewels inserted at friction points, which keep the mechanics aligned and increase the accuracy of the watch.

"In response to consumer demand we have taken one of our most iconic watches, The Marlin, as it was in the 60s, and now designed a mechanical automatic movement.  This latest edition of our classic Marlin case design, coveted for its 1960s aesthetic and high quality functionality, honors our deep rooted legacy and enriches the consumer experience with a mechanical movement and a larger 40mm case size," stated Silvio Leonardi, SVP, Timex Group.  "The Marlin Automatic collection is a testament to our deep commitment to craftsmanship."
