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."
love the look and weight
"love the look and weight of this watch!"
Beautiful watch but had to
"Beautiful watch but had to replace the battery within a week since I noticed tit was lagging in time."
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."
Love this watch! It is
"Love this watch! It is everything I expected. It looks great. The perfect fit expansion band took all of 5 minutes to make it fit perfectly. I am very happy with my purchase."
Great watch, great color!

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."
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!"
Q&A
- I find the watch would benefit from a thinner case profile. Any plans to issue this collection in quartz?
- Hello Miguel! Yes, the Timex E Line is also available in a quartz version. You can check out the Timex® Quartz E Line 30mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch here: https://timex.com/products/timex-quartz-e-line-30mm-stainless-steel-bracelet-watch-tw6a00800. We hope you find the profile and movement that best suit your preference!
- Can I change the band size? It’s a little big on my wrist. Is it possible to get some links off the band?
- Hi Aditya! To adjust the stainless steel expansion band, use a small tool to remove the links carefully. If you need detailed guidance or a step-by-step video, kindly follow the video here: [ youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=VJG2XojMFPw ]. If you’d prefer assistance, a jeweler can help adjust the band for you.
- Indigo?
- Hi Mike! Unfortunately, this specific model doesn't feature Indiglo. However, we have several stunning Timex watches that do! Would you like me to help you find one with easy nighttime readability? For more details and other features, check out the product page.
- Hello! I’m interested in the 1983 E line watch with the black face but seems to only come with a black leather band. Can I buy the stainless steel expansion band separately?
- Hello Drew! I understand your interest in pairing the Timex® Automatic 1983 E Line 34mm Stainless Steel Expansion Band Watch with a black dial face. At this time, we do not sell the stainless steel expansion band separately. The watch is only offered in the configurations listed on our website, so the expansion band is not available as an individual accessory.
- Hi Does this watch band go on without fasting with a clip?
- Hi Tanya! The Timex® Automatic 1983 E Line 34mm Stainless Steel Expansion Band Watch features an expansion band that slips on easily without fastening with a clip. It is designed for convenience, stretching to fit over the wrist and holding securely without additional clasps.
