A Fresh Take on Retro-Futurism
Some designs never stop looking forward.
The new Marlin® Jet Titanium Automatic GMT builds on one of the most distinctive watches in the Timex lineup, evolving its unmistakable space-age silhouette with modern materials and practical functionality. Inspired by the optimistic vision of the 1960s, it captures an era when the future felt limitless while delivering the everyday performance today's wearer expects.
This latest addition to the Marlin Jet collection introduces two meaningful upgrades: a lightweight titanium case and a GMT automatic movement that lets you track a second time zone. Together, they make the Marlin Jet more versatile than ever while preserving the bold design language that made it an icon.

Designed for the Way We Move Today
Whether you're traveling across continents, working with colleagues overseas, or simply staying connected with friends and family in another part of the world, the Marlin Jet Titanium Automatic keeps two time zones in clear view.
At its heart is a battery-free automatic GMT movement, powered entirely by the motion of your wrist. A distinctive red-and-white triangle GMT hand makes reading your second time zone quick and intuitive, while the date window beside 3 o'clock keeps everyday scheduling equally effortless.
It's a practical complication wrapped in a design that feels anything but ordinary.
Titanium: Stronger, Lighter, More Comfortable
One of the most significant updates comes in the form of its titanium case.
Titanium delivers exceptional durability while remaining noticeably lighter than traditional stainless steel, making the watch exceptionally comfortable throughout the day. It's built to handle everyday wear without weighing you down, combining premium materials with lasting performance.
Turn the watch over and the story continues. An exhibition case back reveals the automatic movement at work, offering a glimpse into the mechanics that power every second.
A Crystal That Defines the Watch
Perhaps no feature captures the spirit of the Marlin Jet more than its remarkable domed Hesalite crystal.
Crafted from a refined, scratch-resistant form of acrylic prized for its clarity and ease of maintenance, the crystal extends across the entire top surface of the watch. Instead of stopping at the bezel, it flows over the grooved ring bearing the Marlin name before blending seamlessly into the flat case sides. The result is a smooth, uninterrupted form that feels remarkably modern while paying tribute to the experimental industrial design of the Space Age.
The exhibition case back echoes that same domed profile, creating visual symmetry that gives the entire watch an elegant sense of continuity.
Every Detail Has a Purpose
The Marlin Jet Titanium Automatic rewards closer inspection.
A subtle concentric circle pattern appears beneath the crystal on the inner bezel before reappearing on the exhibition case back, visually connecting both sides of the watch. The grey concave dial balances printed and applied indices to create depth without sacrificing legibility. Every element feels considered, from the clean layout to the integrated date display, allowing the distinctive architecture of the case to remain the focal point.
Comfort That Adapts
Completing the watch is a supple natural leather strap sourced through the Leather Working Group (LWG), supporting more responsible leather production.
Quick-release spring bars make changing straps simple, allowing you to adapt the watch to different occasions without tools. Whether paired with casual tailoring, everyday essentials, or weekend wear, the Marlin Jet transitions effortlessly.
A Watch That Looks Ahead
The original Marlin collection became synonymous with the effortless style of the 1960s. The Marlin Jet took that legacy somewhere unexpected, embracing the era's fascination with futuristic design. Now, the Marlin® Jet Titanium Automatic pushes that vision even further.
Its lightweight titanium construction, automatic GMT movement, sculptural Hesalite crystal, and refined detailing bring together heritage and innovation in equal measure. It's a watch inspired by yesterday's vision of tomorrow, thoughtfully updated for today.
