It features a 41mm shock-resistant titanium case that's both durable and lightweight, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal for optimal clarity, Super LumiNova® in-fill for night visibility, and a sustainable #TIDE™ fabric strap made from recycled ocean-bound plastic, complete with a titanium buckle.
Marlin Chronograph Tachymeter 40mm Leather Strap Watch
This watch blends smooth ‘60s style with advanced functionality. Its tachymeter scale and chronograph function make it a standout, allowing you to measure elapsed time and average speed, while the perforated leather strap adds a touch of racing-inspired sophistication.

It’s perfect for the man who loves a vintage-inspired look.
Q Timex 1975 Enigma Reissue 37mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch
In this modern-day reissue, a navy dot painted on the underside of the crystal cleverly conceals the main hub, while navy hands blend with the dial to create the illusion that their red and white details are mysteriously floating. Other details include a sturdy stainless-steel case and bracelet, a day and date window, and a domed acrylic crystal that brings depth and dimension to its sleek design.
Marlin Jet Automatic 38mm Fabric Strap Watch
Our Marlin® Jet captures futuristic design ideals of the ‘60s with understated details and a 38mm brushed stainless-steel case. However, its most defining feature is the domed Hesalite crystal enveloping the grooved bezel bearing the Marlin name, bringing captivating depth to its retro-futuristic appearance. Powered by a 21-jewel automatic movement and paired with a comfortable fabric strap, it’s a great pick for everyday wear.

Watches are getting slimmer and more refined. Men’s dress watches are trending towards more modest 36–38mm sizes, bringing back classic proportions that are easy to wear.
Unique Materials
Titanium is becoming a top choice for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Brands also seem to be exploring gold alloys more, creating more luxurious and unique proprietary designs.

Watchmakers are moving beyond traditional round designs. Square, tonneau, and asymmetrical cases are gaining popularity, offering playful, eclectic styles with more personality.
Earthy Dial Colors
Expect muted tones like charcoal grey, beige, and brown on watch dials. These colors are often paired with vibrant accents like green or yellow for a modern twist.
