Introducing the Timex Waterbury Watch TW6A05900, a hinged-cover pocket watch that brings back the format on which the brand built its name in Waterbury, Connecticut. The case is steel-toned and mirror polished, wrapped in a fine ribbed edge that runs right around the bezel and the back like the milled rim of a coin. The lid, shown open in the photograph, carries a dense spiral guilloché engraving. Under it sits a bright white dial: elongated black Roman numerals, a printed minute track dotted at every hour, TIMEX set above THE WATERBURY at the top and ESTABLISHED IN 1854 curving along the bottom edge. Blued spear-shaped hands provide the only colour on the dial, echoed by the blue 250 printed above six o'clock. A fluted crown with a bow crowns the case at twelve.
Construction is classic pocket watch: a full hunter case with a hinged front lid, released by a small pusher set into the case band and marked with an engraved star. The band itself alternates a wide brushed centre with polished chamfers, while the bezel and the rear are finished in that continuous coin-edge ribbing. The dial is lacquered white with printed indications, the hands are blued and faceted, and the crown is knurled for grip and topped by a fixed bow for a chain.
Waterbury is not a marketing word at Timex, it is the town where the Waterbury Clock Company started in 1854 and the place where the American pocket watch became something an ordinary worker could afford. That lineage, from the dollar watch to the brand we know today, is exactly what this collection revisits: honest dials, Roman numerals, blued hands and no unnecessary decoration.
