Timex Marlin Sub-Dial Automatic 39mm Watch, $191 (was $319) on Amazon
The Timex Marlin collection takes its design cues from mid-century modern design, a style that imbues them with a retro quality that suits a timepiece quite nicely. Behind its mineral glass lens, you’ll find a full Arabic dial, date window, and 24-hour sundial. The curved cushion-shaped case is modestly sized, at just 39mm wide and 9mm thick, and made of lightly brushed stainless steel. It features a window in the back that shows off the mechanical automatic winding movement inside. The strap is handsome leather with high-contrast white stitching and a standard buckle.
“I absolutely love the understated retro look,” one reviewer wrote, particularly that the “streamlined face isn’t cluttered with useless nonsense that gets in the way.” Its moderate size is not too big like many men’s watches. They added that it’s a great choice “if you are looking for a reasonably priced auto-winding watch that’s good for telling the time.”
Another reviewer called this a "lovely watch” that’s “a great combination of modern and vintage design,” with the domed glass, thin hands, case shape, and lightly brushed dial borrowed from the watches of the past. It’s also “automatic, light, and a size that fits most men.”
A Timex Marlin Sub-Dial Automatic 39mm Watch looks good on any wrist, and the $128 you’ll save by buying it now is good for every wallet. We’re not sure how long this discount or supplies will last, so go ahead and pick one up today.
