Timex Marlin Chronograph Watch TW2W10400

Introducing the Timex Marlin Chronograph Watch TW2W10400, a 40 mm chronograph built entirely around contrast. The dial is silver with a brushed sunray finish that shifts tone as the light moves across it, and three black registers sit on that pale background: running seconds at nine, a 24 hour counter at twelve and the chronograph minute totaliser at six. The outer flange is matte black and carries the tachymeter scale, with the word TACHYMETRE printed at the top and the figures running down from 500 to 60. Faceted applied markers catch the light around the dial, joined by open outlined numerals at 12, 3 and 9, a typographic signature the brand has used for decades. A date window sits at four thirty, and the fully polished case is capped by a domed crystal that gives the whole piece real depth on the wrist.

The watch runs on a quartz movement and combines three hands, calendar and chronograph, operated by the two pushers flanking the crown. The case is steel, round in shape, measuring 40.00 mm across and 13.00 mm thick. The crystal is acrylic, the material responsible for that warm magnifying effect around the edges. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM and the steel bracelet closes with a deployment clasp.

Marlin is one of the most enduring names in the Timex catalogue. The brand grew out of the American watchmaking tradition of Waterbury and made its reputation building dependable watches for everyday people. The Marlin line revives the proportions, details and lettering of mid century models, and this chronograph version carries that language onto a two tone dial with a tachymeter scale, faithful to the motorsport look of the period.
