Marlin Draper Automatic: A Retro Revival with Automatic Power

A Suave New Marlin is Here

The latest watch to join our mid-century Marlin collection brings vintage character into the present day. Drawing from the bold shapes of our 1960s archives, this new offering pairs a distinctive cushion case with clean finishing, an automatic movement, and thoughtful modern touches.

Pull up a chair, settle in, and say hello to the Marlin Draper Automatic.

A barrel-shaped cushion case with a round opening plays up the retro charm on this smooth update to our ‘60s Marlin. Finished with vertical brushing on its top and fitted with a polished bezel, the case is crafted of tarnish-free stainless steel and modestly sized at 37mm.

On the case back, an exhibition window allows for a view of the battery-free 21-jewel automatic movement ticking inside as a subtle reminder that good mechanics never go out of style. A quick date function makes setting the day and date window at 3 o’clock effortless...because even timeless design should keep up with real life.

The dial keeps things crisp and uncluttered, with luminant hands and markers that make telling time easy when the lights are low and the evening stretches on. A flat mineral glass crystal completes the look, preserving the watch’s sleek profile.

It comes with two attachment options: a stainless-steel bracelet complete with a butterfly clasp for a secure fit and seamless transition from bracelet to clasp, or a more traditional brown natural leather strap responsibly sourced from the Leather Working Group (LWG). Both are equipped with quick-release spring bars that require no tools, making it easy to change things up whenever the occasion—or the outfit—calls for it.

The Marlin Draper Automatic isn’t about nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake, but about carrying forward the design language of an era that valued quality, craftsmanship, and confidence. It's a modern classic tailored for today, but rooted firmly in mid-century cool.

Because some styles never clock out.
