Timex had a sneaky flash sale recently that seems to still be going. Maybe they’re running some models out? Anyway, the standout is this Marlin Automatic in 40mm. It ticks all the mid-century design boxes, right down to the acrylic crystal, but with a modern movement (which I think is a Miyota 8000 series). I bought one of these from Watch Direct and it’s really satisfying my desire for vintage styling, and at this price it’s a no-brainer.
(If you prefer a quartz then this Q 1978 Day/Date is down to $177.50 but would be subject to the $20 shipping charge as its under $190.)
