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.
Stainless Steel Case
This stainless-steel case is highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and tarnish, ensuring your watch remains in excellent condition over time. It's also hypoallergenic and incredibly strong.

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.

Long wait, but worth it.
"Long wait, but worth it. Cool watch. Love the color."
I have admired this watch
"I have admired this watch for some time. It is rarely available. When my 30-year-old Tiffany stainless steel watch was no longer reliable I pre ordered this watch. It looks very good. It has stopped a couple of times when I’ve had it off overnight. We’ll see if it works well going forward."
Beautiful design, comfortable clasp, accurate
"Beautiful design, comfortable clasp, accurate timekeeping, and sturdy build. The top glass is a bit exposed, but it is very thick and adds to the TV design aesthetic. I was a bit hesitant about the movement, but it is both quiet and smooth. Awesome watch!"
My Rolexes, Omega, and Tudors
"My Rolexes, Omega, and Tudors have all been in the watch box since this arrived 😂. Will hang it up and break it out again in the Summer but just enjoying that dial."
Love it. Even though I
"Love it. Even though I wear 39-44mm watches, this still looks lovely on my wrist. Love the bracelet."
Great little watch I went
"Great little watch I went with the light blue dial option as a summer dress watch. Make the date slightly larger, screw down crown, a touch of lume on the indices and it would be perfect. Oh and a sapphire crystal, but realize those upgrades would add to price. I’d pay extra for those improvements though. Anyway great watch highly recommend."
This is a very good
"This is a very good looking watch. A bit small on my hand but it is an eye catcher. It's feels like 12 hours automatic not 24."
Loving it as matter of
"Loving it as matter of fact waited for over a year to get my hands on this. It was kept on sold out and finally it’s in my possession! Thanks Timex"
Splendid watch, love the dial
"Splendid watch, love the dial color, sparkles too in certain light."
Q&A
- I have a large wrist. Are additional links available?
- Hi Charles! Unfortunately, we do not sell extra links for our watches. If the bracelet doesn’t fit comfortably, we recommend visiting a local jeweler who may be able to assist you with adding compatible links or resizing options.
- how can i size the band ? Do you have a video online that I can see?
- Hi Mike! Thank you for your question! For adjusting the watch, you can remove links by following these instructions or by watching our Timex tutorial video here: [ https://youtu.be/Hr4XfTeLybI?si=GybZV9328A-fYlZZ ]. If you’d prefer assistance, a jeweler can help adjust the band for you. Here’s a quick guide to adjust your Perfect Fit™ expansion band: 1. Place the watch on your wrist and estimate how many links need removal. 2. Locate the links in the center of the bracelet with the textured area. 3. Squeeze the textured part of the link opposite the one you want to remove. 4. While pressing down, pull the band apart to remove the link. 5. Repeat as needed for additional links. 6. Once done, press down on the textured part and insert the opposite end to reconnect the band. Your Perfect Fit™ expansion band should now be adjusted comfortably. Please let me know if you need further help!

- Do I really have to measure my wrist ? I am 6’1”and 190 pounds. Do you think it will just slip on ? My apprehension is that I may have to go to a jeweler to take off a pin ?
- Hello Kevin! For the Timex® Automatic 1983 E Line 34mm Stainless Steel Expansion Band Watch, measuring your wrist is recommended for the best fit. However, it is designed to slip on comfortably without the need for sizing in most cases. At 6’1” and 190 pounds, there’s a good chance it will fit well, but wrist size can vary. If it feels too snug or loose, a jeweler can help adjust the expansion band.
