Regarding the vintage early-1970s one that I'm after, it was indeed a quartz model, as this auction here: .shows the same distinctive "Q" logo that mine had on the dial. The square-drive plug could be for speed adjustment, I suppose. Okay, it sounds like yours is indeed mechanical. Maybe from the 1960-70's, it has a Space Age design look about it but I can't seem to find this model anywhere.ĭoes anyone have any additional information on this wrote: I have this wind-up Timex watch that's in need of an ID. Try google Timex electronic or Timex electric. I have been a proud owner of early 70's Timex electronic for some weeks now, it has a larbe button cell and a balance that is electrically driven but not a quartz, only transistor. After a 20 million advertising campaign featuring toughness tests performed on the watch, the Ironman became a success. My first search criteria other than the brand is USA product location. In 1984 Timex worked together with the officials of the Ironman Triathlon sporting event to develop a new digital watch to help sagging sales within the company. One of my searches is for Timex cross hair dial because I think they’re sexy, and so do many buyers as there is a premium built into these unique dials. And probably meant that when the movement fails, this watch is a throwaway. Keywords I use are vintage, Timex, 1960’s, Marlin, Viscount and Mercury which are my top three models. I think this has been a low cost model, assembled from crystal side, and the white cover could be for adjusting the balance. I can take photos next time I visit there (it may take a while.).īut about the movement, it is a handwind movement, and there is no back cover that you could open.
Unfortunately I can't take photos now since the watch is somewhere at my parents house, 400 kilometers far from my place. Looking to sell extra straps, Timex kept it simple. Description: Awesome find Vintage men’s jewelry- possibly 60’s maybe 70’s Timex Men’s Wristwatch- M Cell, winding mechanism still works & hands move smoothly but it definitely shows wear - this is a fantastic piece for any collection or to restore. Sorry for my late reply, I haven't noticed your message untill now. The Timex Weekender uses a strap that’s more ZULU than NATO (inexplicably adorning the 40mm Timex Weekender): two metal keepers on a single web, devoid of the fold over bit that prevents the watch from sliding off.
