Acrylic Crystal
A lightweight plastic polymer with excellent impact resistance and a warm vintage appearance that can be easily polished to remove scuffs.
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.

It’s a nice watch just
"It’s a nice watch just too small!"
I am really enjoying this
"I am really enjoying this 34mm Marlin! The brown is very rich. The size is perfect, the whole thing screams vintage charm! I'll be enjoying my newest timepiece!"
The Marlin Hand-Wound is an
"The Marlin Hand-Wound is an attractive & seemingly well built retro mechanical watch. There is a simplicity to it that watch enthusiasts will appreciate. The watch face is a warm rich brown as is the leather strap. They are perfectly matched. The hand-winding is smooth. One caution for the watch buyer who is use to 40mm plus watches. 34MM is indeed small, but is a nice change of pace & style."
Very nice job from Timex
"Very nice job from Timex on a reissue of the original early 60s Marlin. Unlike most "reissues" this isn't a watch that merely borrows design cues from the original. It retains the 34mm case size, the same dial (minus the waterproof text) and even the model/date code text at the 6'o clock position on the bottom of the dial, snap back case etc. To the untrained eye, this looks and feels just like the original and are very difficult to tell apart at a cursory glance. The only negative thing I have to say about this watch is the movement which varies +- 10 seconds a day for me. Not terrible but could be better. Overall this watch stays true to its origins and I love how it feels on my wrist better than almost any other watch I have every worn. Thank you Timex for doing a proper re-issue!"
Nice size just like my
"Nice size just like my other Marlin but the 40MM would've been idea. But my only real disappointment w/this Marlin is the Brown Dial, it doesn't compare to some of my other Brown dial timepieces (i. e. , Seiko SARY078, SAR012, & SARY082). that are really Brown looking. Either way this Marlin has found a place in my Brown collection w/the above mentioned Seiko's."
Loved the color and dial
"Loved the color and dial face however the size 34 mm is to small. I would like a larger size if possible ."

"The original Marlin is an underratted gem. When I saw the new chocolate one I had to get it. It is very retro and looks good with my work suits and my polos."
This watch is all good.
"This watch is all good. One thing that's unfortunate is that the name Marlin should have solved the reflex problem."
I love this watch. It
"I love this watch. It is the perfect size and the hand-wind feature reminds me of my grandfather's watch."
Q&A
- Another vote for this or the quartz analog Marlin 34mm in a blue - powder or navy blue. There's a market out there for smaller watches to push back against the 42mm monsters out there...different colors in this style would enhance appeal. Any plans to move in that direction?
- Hi Matthew! As of this moment, there are no plans yet. However, thanks so much for the suggestion! I absolutely love the idea and I'll definitely pass your idea along to our product team. We always appreciate hearing what our customers would love to see!
- Is it possible to get this watch with a band that's not leather ? For instance the stainless expansion band ? Would that one work on this watch ?
- Hi Sharon! All our watches are sold as shown in the product images, so we do not offer customization, such as changing the band strap. However, you can purchase a separate replacement strap with the correct lug width if you’d prefer a different one.
- Any plans to offer this in some shade of blue (e.g. light blue dial, navy blue strap)? Kudos on the 34mm size! People think it looks small because they are used to seeing people wear 45mm clocks on their wrist!!
- Hi Geoffrey! Thank you for your enthusiasm about the Marlin® Hand-Wound 34mm Leather Strap Watch. At the moment, there are no plans to offer it in a shade of blue, but we love hearing suggestions like yours! We appreciate your support for the 34mm size—it truly embraces a classic and timeless look. If anything changes, we’ll be sure to share updates!
- Is there an option to order a different color strap? I wish there was a red one for this one, beautiful watch, vintage is always better!!!
- Hi Fausto! All our watches are sold as shown in the product images, so we do not offer customization, such as changing the band strap. However, you can purchase a separate replacement strap with the correct lug width if you’d prefer red.
