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.

This is a very solid
"This is a very solid watch. Durable and more lightweight than I was expecting."
I like this watch. I
"I like this watch. I had a cheaper Timex digital Expedition with four impossible, triangle-shaped screws that secured the back plate. Since I don't have - and have never seen a triangle-shaped screwdriver to change the battery, I just opted to upgrade my watch to an automatic. I like the fact that the MK1 is analogue and free of any chronograph/stopwatch/dive meter etc complications. Doesn't even have a date window. I'm retired so every day is Saturday anyway. Just tells time, which is all I need."
I was skeptical because over
"I was skeptical because over the last several years I’ve bought a couple of inexpensive timex watches that were less than quality. After reading all the positive reviews on the MK1 automatic,I decided to gamble and it paid off big. This is a great watch. It wears well, is easy to read, has decent lume and probably most importantly it keeps very good time for a mechanical watch. It looks and acts as good as a Hamilton for a fraction of the price! I highly recommend this."
I was looking or an
"I was looking or an affordable Field Watch and have always loved the looks of the Timex MK1. The other options I were considering were either too small (38mm) or more than I wanted to spend. The Miyota Automatic Movement and classic great looks of this watch were definitely selling points for me! I have an 8. 25" wrist so my only wish is that Timex had produced this watch in a 42mm. . . otherwise, PERFECTION!"
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)."
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."

"Really nice looking watch. Extremely satisfied with my purchase."
Absolutely beautiful piece. One thing
"Absolutely beautiful piece. One thing to note is that beneath the canvas band is a sown piece of leather which helps protect the material. Watch face on its own is a reason to by this piece"
Love it! Simple, stylish.

- 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!
