A Fresh Take on Retro-Futurism
Our Marlin Jet captures futuristic design ideals of the ‘60s with understated details and a sleek 38mm brushed stainless-steel case. 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.

Our Marlin Jet captures futuristic design ideals of the ‘60s with understated details and a sleek 38mm brushed stainless-steel case. 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 black, green, or blue matte concave dial showcases a crosshair pattern punctuated with a date window beside the 3 o’clock marker. Completing the look, we’ve paired the Marlin Jet with a double-layered black, green, or 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.

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.

I have many watches, from
"I have many watches, from many manufactuters. But my first watch, back in the dark ages when I was six years old, was a Timex that my Dad got for me. I don't remember the model, but it had a dark blue face, and gold hands and it got me where I needed to be on time for many, many years. This Marlin reminds me strongly of that first watch, but with a modern take on a mid-century aesthetic. I appreciate that Timex is taking a moment to reflect on what made them so successful as an American manufacturer of affordable, robust, dependable timepieces. Wore this the other day, and in styling it gives up nothing to the competition. Very happy with this purchase."

Q&A
- Do the dial markings and hands show up in the dark
- Hi Paul! 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?
- Sir/Madam: When do you anticipate the restocking of the Marlin Jet with tan(?) face. Also, the woven cloth band is not for me. Can this watch be special ordered with a black lizard grained band?

However, I encourage you to keep an eye out for our exciting new launches and other products that suits your preference!

As for the strap, all our watches are sold as shown in the product images, so we do not offer customization, such as changing the band strap.
