Key Features
- Automatic Movement: Powered by the natural movement of your wrist, this watch features a self-winding mechanism that maintains accuracy without requiring a battery. Ideal for daily wear, it keeps time reliably as long as it’s worn regularly.
- Scratch-Resistant Mineral Glass: The crystal is made from a proprietary blend of minerals fired under high heat, creating a hardened surface that resists scratches and shattering. This ensures long-term clarity and protection against everyday wear and tear.
- Water Resistance Tested Under Pressure: Every Timex watch undergoes a 24-hour water resistance and accuracy test before leaving the factory. This rigorous process builds on a legacy of durability testing that dates back to the 1960s, when Timex put their watches through extreme conditions—from dishwashers to cliff divers—on live television.
- Milan-Inspired Design: Crafted in the Timex Milan Design Studio under the direction of Giorgio Galli, this watch merges timeless elegance with contemporary innovation. Each detail reflects a deep respect for Timex’s heritage and a commitment to evolving design standards.

The Milan-designed aesthetic pairs well with both casual and business attire, offering versatility across occasions. With a 40mm case, it fits comfortably on most wrist sizes without feeling oversized or too delicate.

From the manufacturer
TESTED UNDER PRESSURE
In the 1960s we tested the durability of our watches on boat motors, the wrist of cliff divers and even in dishwashers. And we did it all on live television. Today, nearly every Timex watch is tested for water resistance and accuracy for 24 hours before it leaves our hands.
SCRATCH RESISTANT MINERAL GLASS
A proprietary blend of minerals fired into the glass harden the surface making the crystal more scratch and shatter-resistant.
DESIGNED IN MILAN
In our Milan Design Studio, Giorgio Galli creates every Timex with the careful consideration of our legacy and a passion to blaze forward.
