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.

Q&A
- Power reserve ?
- Hi Rick! Thank you for your question about the Timex® Automatic 1983 E Line 34mm Leather Strap Watch. This model has an approximate power reserve of 40 hours when fully wound. For the best performance and most accurate timekeeping, we recommend wearing the watch regularly or winding it as needed. We appreciate your interest in this classic automatic timepiece!
- Good afternoon I am interested in the Timex® Automatic 1983 E Line (Black dial) I know it comes on the leather strap. I really would like the stretch metal strap is it possible to purchase that strap separately or get it with the black face and scratch band configuration?
- Hi Grahm! Thank you for your interest in the Timex® Automatic 1983 E Line with the black dial. At this time, we do not offer custom configurations, so all watches are sold exactly as shown and packaged from the factory. However, you may purchase a separate replacement strap with the same 20mm lug width and compatible lug ends to fit the watch. The strap is also easy to replace thanks to the quick-release design, which allows for simple strap changes without special tools. We hope this helps and appreciate your interest in the collection!

- Timex® Automatic 1983 E Line collection Has the metal bracelet/strap but why can’t we get it with this black face??
- Hi Oz! Thank you for your feedback on the Timex Automatic 1983 E Line 34mm Leather Strap Watch. We appreciate hearing what styles and combinations our customers would like to see in the collection. While this specific black dial version currently comes with a leather strap, you may also explore separate replacement bracelet options with the same lug width if you prefer a metal bracelet look. For future releases and updates, we recommend subscribing to our newsletter.
- Do you sell replacement straps for this watch? I currently don't see any 20mm black leather straps available on the Timex website.
- Hi Steve! Thanks so much for your question. We do not have an exact replacement strap available for this model, but any strap with a 20mm lug width can fit. If you’re not seeing a black leather option on our website, it means we currently don’t have one available. We truly appreciate what our customers are looking for, and we’ll be sure to share updates if that changes.
- I read that the arms are too small/thin, and they look like that in all the photos. can you even read the time on this thing?
- Hello Chris! Thank you for your question about the Timex® Automatic 1983 E Line 34mm Leather Strap Watch. The watch is designed with slender hands to match its vintage-inspired style, which gives it a clean and classic appearance. Despite the refined design, the hands still provide clear contrast against the dial to allow the time to be read easily. Many customers appreciate this model for its elegant, minimalist look while still maintaining everyday functionality.
