Timex has unveiled the Marlin Jet Titanium Automatic GMT, the latest addition to its Marlin lineup.
Priced at $549, the watch is now available for pre-order in the United States.
The timepiece combines a mechanical dual-time zone movement with a lightweight titanium case, bringing modern functionality to a retro-inspired design.
Design and Build
The watch features a 40mm titanium case with brushed and polished finishes.
Titanium is significantly lighter than stainless steel, enhancing comfort for daily wear, though it may be more prone to scratches.
With a thickness of 14.5mm, the case is relatively standard for an entry-level automatic GMT movement but somewhat thick for a vintage aesthetic.
Angular lugs and a large fluted crown facilitate easy time and date setting.
A domed Hesalite (acrylic) crystal sits above a grooved titanium bezel engraved with the Marlin name. Beneath it, the gray dial offers a clean, minimalist layout.
Applied baton markers indicate the hours, a date window is positioned at 3 o'clock, and a 24-hour scale is printed on the inner ring.
A red hand with a white triangle tip tracks a second time zone on the 24-hour scale.
Movement and Features
Inside, the watch is powered by a mechanical automatic GMT movement that winds itself through wrist motion, eliminating the need for a battery.
The movement is visible through an exhibition case back.
The watch comes with a 20mm black leather strap featuring quick-release spring bars, allowing easy swapping with standard third-party straps without tools.
Water resistance is rated at 50 meters, sufficient for hand washing, light rain, or brief swimming, but not for diving or heavy water activities.
