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.

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.

Got this as a birthday
"Got this as a birthday gift and love it. Only notes I’ll mention: the movement inside is loud, so it took some getting used to but now it’s nice to know the movement is winding when I move. Also I can’t find why it is but it has to be around a 20 hour power reserve, so if you set it down for a day expect to reset and rewind it. The crystal is very easy to scratch but with some Polywatch it’s good as new. The bracelet does fit great but it is still grabby on arm hairs. Overall very good watch especially for the price."

Q&A
- I was just wondering if there is anyway to convert the stretch fit band to a regular bracelet clasp watch band.
- Hi Abby! Thank you for reaching out. The Automatic 1983 E Line 34mm Stainless Steel Expansion Band Watch features a quick release strap system, making it easy to swap bands. However, we do not offer customization, and the watch is sold as is. You can explore compatible straps, but modifications may vary in fit and appearance.
- Hi, Is it possible to return the watch which was pre ordered?
- Hello Nithya! Thank you for your question about returning a pre-ordered watch.

This model is powered by a Miyota caliber 8215 Japanese automatic movement with 21 jewels. The movement is self-winding, meaning it winds itself through the motion of your wrist during normal wear. It is known for reliable timekeeping and durability.
