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
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.

Reviews
Well crafted, high quality watch.
"Well crafted, high quality watch. May have missed this in the description but the glowing hands are a really nice touch. Also the hack feature when setting time, super cool. The strap and "wrist feel" are far more comfortable than similarly priced competitors (which I've tried)."
— Garm B. (5/5)
I wanted an inexpensive automatic
"I wanted an inexpensive automatic for outdoor work & play. Watch seems great but don't love the strap. If you want a great strap plan on buying aftermarket but not at all disappointed in the watch."
— Jameson M. (4/5)
Watch looks greats, perfect size
"Watch looks greats, perfect size for my wrist. The mechanical self-winding movement is insanely accurate. It has only drifted a few seconds in almost a week's time, though the rate has fluctuated from day-to-day. I'm very pleased with it. Keep offering more options for manual wind and self-winding movements. I prefer and enjoy the nostalgic ritual of manually winding my watch, so I would like to see more options for the manual wind movements. One bit of feedback for them (which of course doesn't apply to this MK-1 automatic) is for the manual winds, make the crown a little bit bigger. On the automatic movement used in this MK-1, the crown size is perfect, it's very easy to grasp and manipulate for manual winding (when I haven't worn it enough and want to give it some extra wind) and for setting the time. Make the manual wind only movements have a slightly larger crown and those would be as perfect too (the manual wind movements in your other models like the Marlin reissue keep very good time at single digits per day gain, which is quite excellent). Both styles of mechanical movements you are using are excellent, and I look forward to more models having both types coming out"

"I started getting serious about watches a few years ago and lately I have been leaning towards field watches. The mk1 automatic is a great addition, it's simple no day/date, not a bad thing at all. I love that the case is brushed not polished. The only thing I would have changed is a sapphire crystal instead of acrylic but not a deal breaker. Lately I have been switching between my Hamilton field and the mk1 which is a compliment for timex!"

So angry, missed the 30% off. Are you going to be doing that again anytime soon. Thanks

I just bought the MK1 military automatic. model # TW2Y07800 My question is: Can I wind this myself and can it be over-wound and break the springs?
Hi Ronald! Thank you for choosing the MK1® Automatic 40mm Fabric Strap Watch. Yes, you can manually wind the watch yourself by turning the crown clockwise to help start or maintain the movement when it has not been worn for a while. The watch is designed with protection against overwinding during normal use, so you do not need to worry about breaking the springs as long as the crown is handled gently and not forced once resistance is felt. We hope you enjoy your new automatic watch!
You say its a japanese movement. Which one is it?
Hello J. J.! Thank you for your question about the MK1 Automatic 40mm. This model is powered by a Miyota automatic movement with 21 jewels. Miyota movements are known for their reliability and consistent performance. We hope this gives you added confidence in its craftsmanship.
Is it possible to buy one of these olive straps?
Hi Aaron! All our watches are sold as shown in the product images, so we don’t sell the bracelets separately. .
On the mk1 mechanical, what is the power reserve? 40 hrs?
Hi Rafael! Thank you for your question about the MK1® Automatic. This model has a power reserve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound. That means once fully charged through wear or manual winding, it can run for nearly two days without additional movement. If you have any other questions about its performance, we’re happy to help.
