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
Once worn for 48 hours
"Once worn for 48 hours so the self winding mechanism could come up to full potential, the watch provides very accurate time and does not stop working at night when it is taken off before going to sleep. It is also very light weight and the expansion band was easy to adjust without needing any tools."
— Howard P. (5/5)

Love this - elegant, minimal,
"Love this - elegant, minimal, works, right-sized in proportion to itself and my wrist. However, if your eyesight is less than stellar, the hands are not quite as easy to see as in the pictures - I might try the silver backed one were I to do this again or lose my watch. But with readers it's easy to see. One criticism: I had to go to youtube to learn how to make the band smaller - the watch should come with paper instructions for that and I couldn't find the instructions on Timex's website. There are a few youtube videos related to bands similar to this one, so make sure you see at least a few viddies before you try. For this watch, you depress the inside (wrist facing) of one of the links in the rigid section of the band."

I love this watch,. . great
"I love this watch,. . great looking. If you are concerned 34mm might be to small, IMHO it's not. The square shape the lugs really wears larger on the wrist,, reminds me of a38mm round watch. Keeping solid time even when off the wrist overnight. Expansion band links release works as advertised, Highly recommend this."
— William D. (5/5)
This is a great-looking watch.
"This is a great-looking watch. I was so happy when I got the restock notification! And the vintage size is perfect—I know big watches are in, but this wears beautifully on both a 7” wrist and 6” if the smaller wrist is wanting something more substantial. (It wears similarly to my husband’s inherited 80s Datejust. ) The expansion band looks great, but is a pinchy hair-ripper, so we swapped it out for a leather strap. I’m going to keep my eye out for a bracelet with a similar feel to the expansion band. If you’re on the fence; get the watch!"
— Julie A. (5/5)

Q&A
Hi , I was thinking of getting some engraving done on the case. Upon scrolling , I found that it is possible, but not sure how can I get a name engraved on this watch.
Hi Barry! We understand your interest in personalization. At this time, we do not offer engraving services on our watches.
Received my Automatic 1983 e-line re-issue in early December. No way does it have a 40 hour reserve. I must wear it EVERY day. I read about manual winding, how does one do that? What are my options? I have more than a few watches and like to wear a different one everyday. Where would a certified technician be in my area?
Hi Paul! Automatic watches like your Timex® 1983 E Line are self‑winding, meaning they rely on the natural motion of your wrist to keep running. If you don’t wear it daily, you can manually wind it by gently turning the crown clockwise about 20–30 times to give it power. Since you rotate between several watches, a watch winder might be a great option to keep it running when not worn. For certified service technicians in your area, you can search “Timex authorized service centers near me” for the most accurate local listings.
Hello - I just bought this watch but I could not find any information about power reserve. How many hours does the watch store?
Hi Leo! The Timex Automatic 1983 E Line 34mm Stainless Steel Expansion Band Watch has a typical power reserve of about 40 hours when fully wound. That means if you leave it unworn, it will continue running for roughly that duration before stopping. Wearing it daily or giving it a manual wind will keep it powered consistently.
DOES PRE-ORDER MEAN THAT YOU WILL HAVE IT IN STOCK?
Hi Ray! Unfortunately, I have to inform you that we do not have plans for restocking this particular watch at the moment. However, I encourage you to keep an eye out for our exciting new launches and other products that suits your preference! We're always working on bringing fresh and innovative designs to our customers, and I'm confident you'll find something just as captivating. If there's anything else I can assist you with or if you have any further questions, please feel free to let me know. Your satisfaction is our top priority.
Love to look and feel of my watch! There is a decent amount of noice when I move my wrist. Not that big of a deal as it’s an automatic movement. But there is a squeak that accompanies the winding noise. Is this normal
Hi Bradly! You're right to check in—automatic watches do naturally make a bit of sound from the rotor moving as it winds. That said, if you're hearing a distinct squeaking or anything that feels out of the ordinary, we recommend having a watch technician take a closer look just to be safe. It’s always good to double-check when something feels off. Let us know if you need help finding a service location!
