Our Marlin® Jet captures futuristic design ideals of the ‘60s with understated details and a 38mm brushed stainless-steel case that introduces a sleek new silhouette to our iconic Marlin line. However, its most defining feature is the domed crystal. Made from Hesalite—a refined form of acrylic favored for its clarity and ease of maintenance—the crystal covers the entire top surface of the watch case, enveloping the grooved bezel bearing the Marlin name and bringing captivating depth to the watch's retro-futuristic appearance. It blends seamlessly into the flat case sides, leaving only the lugs exposed. The case sides smoothly transition to a screwed-on exhibition case back that mirrors the crystal’s domed contour, enhancing the watch’s streamlined profile and space-age aesthetics. You’ll find a concentric circle pattern in three key locations on this timepiece: beneath the dome on the inner bezel, on the crown, and on the case back. The silver-white concave dial showcases a crosshair pattern punctuated with a 24-hour format sub-dial beside the 9 o’clock marker. Completing the look, we’ve paired the Marlin Jet with a blue woven perlon strap that introduces a subtle textural element to its clean design.

Mechanical Automatic Movement
Automatic watches have no battery. Instead, these "self winding" movements use the natural movement of your wrist as a power source.
Mechanical Automatic
Powered by You
A mechanical automatic movement winds itself using the natural motion of your wrist — a rotor inside spins as you move, storing energy in a mainspring. This spring slowly releases power through a precise series of gears and an escapement, driving the hands in a smooth, sweeping motion. It’s a self-sustaining engine, no battery required. When worn daily, it stays powered continuously — keeping perfect time without needing to be reset.

Acrylic Crystal
Highly impact-resistant
Acrylic lens are a specialised form of plastic akin to Plexiglass and were commonly used in early to mid-20th century watches. It is a softer material that can be more prone to scratches but conversely is very shatter-resistant. Given its softness any scratches though can be buffed out. Acrylic lens are synonymous with vintage-inspired timepieces and thus can be found on our Marlin and Q Timex collections.

Our Mid-Century Icon
The original Marlin watches first stepped into the spotlight in the 1950s and matured into a centerpiece of Timex’s broader collection in the 1960s. Today's Marlin collection draws inspiration from that era, pulling both from Timex archives and '60s culture more generally.
Smooth as the ‘60s
Marlin is pure 1960s cool, delivering substance and style in equal measure, with unwavering swagger. Timeless and sophisticated, it's a watch that captures the best of the past while continuing to push Timex’s legacy of style, disruption, and quality into the future.

Great watch but band does
"Great watch but band does not do it justice. Also I am female and while I where bigger watches this one has a bit bigger profile than I was wxpecting"
Love the look. Have just
"Love the look. Have just worn when running errands & around the house… already scratched the glass. Strap is also quite cheap for the price of the watch"
It’s a beautiful watch. Love
"It’s a beautiful watch. Love the look and the feel. Crystal seems to scratch easy or I’m just clumsy but got a small scratch after 1 day of use while working my normal corporate job. Not sure how. Other than that everything about the watch is great."

"Cool sleek design that is easy to wear and easy to operate. Highly recommend and highly satisfied."
The dial is amazing. The
"The dial is amazing. The glass surrounding it is unique. When the light shines on it, it has a subtle chrome. Despite this, the band is awful. The band looks great and held up for 1-2 days but began to break down. I love this watch to death, BUT the quality holds it back from being an amazing watch. 4 stars."
The fabric nato style strap
"The fabric nato style strap isn't very robust. After 3 weeks of daily wear, the fabric already started to fray at the clasp. The overall quality of the watch is good, and I like the see thru of the mechanism. Movement is reasonably accurate. The dial face looks a little low-rent - it feels like cheap plastic and the wrap around the edge gives a poor refraction, making the "Marlin" logo hard to read."
Q&A
- Is there lume on the Marlin Jet?
- Hi Ed! Unfortunately, this specific model doesn't have luminous features. However, we do have other fantastic watches with lume! Would you like me to show you some similar options?
- What brand of movement?
- Hi Brian! Thanks for reaching out. The Marlin® Jet Automatic 38mm Fabric Strap Watch features a Japanese Miyota automatic movement, known for its reliability and precise timekeeping. It is a durable movement widely used in automatic watches for consistent performance.
- Which other Timex straps could be paired with this Marlin watch?
- Hello Abe! Thank you for your question about the Marlin® Jet Automatic 38mm Fabric Strap Watch. This watch can be paired with any slip-through strap that has a 19mm lug width. Slip-through straps are easy to install and allow you to switch styles quickly without tools. You may explore other Timex slip-through strap options if you’d like to change the look of your watch.
- I'm a little confused about the functionality of the sub dial: two people asked about whether it could be used as a GMT function, and the two answers conflict, as one suggests that you can set the subdial to a different time zone, and the other answer says you cannot. I suspect you can't (because that would be a BIG selling point, and it is not mentioned in the specs). I am very much in the market for a nice, affordable MECHANICAL GMT. Unfortunately, the only GMT that Timex offers has a quartz movement. Nothing wrong with a good quartz (considering that they are ALL more accurate than even the highest priced automatic Swiss Made), but I am one of those people that only wears mechanicals. Any how, please clarify as that Marlin has been sitting in my cart for weeks now! Jeff D. Timex Marlin owner PS: love the Draper! Looks like a Rolex Oyster Perpetual!
- Hello Jeff! Thank you for reaching out with your question about the Marlin® Jet Automatic 38mm Fabric Strap Watch. To clarify, this watch does not feature a GMT function. The subdial is not adjustable to track a second time zone. We appreciate your interest in a mechanical GMT, and while we currently do not offer that feature in the Marlin line, we’re always working to improve and expand our offerings. Thanks for your feedback, and we hope this helps!
- Where can I find a replacement crystal for my Marlin Jet? I bonked it on something and have a crack on the dome.
- Hello Karl! Thank you for reaching out about your Marlin® Jet Automatic 38mm Fabric Strap Watch. Unfortunately, we do not sell replacement crystals separately. We recommend visiting a trusted local jeweler or watch repair shop, as they may be able to replace the crystal for you. A professional technician will be able to evaluate the watch and find a suitable replacement.
