Timex has announced the Deepwater Meridian 200 Automatic GMT, a new mechanical watch that combines a dive-style build with dual-time zone tracking. It is available now for $549 and comes in three dial colors: black, blue, and green.
Design Details
The watch runs on a 21-jewel automatic movement. Because it is mechanical and self-winding, it doesn’t use a battery; it winds itself using the natural movement of the wearer’s wrist. The main functional addition here over a standard three-hand watch is the GMT complication.
It features a dedicated 24-hour hand that works alongside a two-tone ceramic bidirectional rotating bezel. This setup allows you to read a second time zone, which is a standard method for tracking local and home time simultaneously when traveling.
The case is made of stainless steel with a mix of brushed and polished finishes. It measures 42mm in diameter, 48.8mm lug-to-lug, and 14.5mm thick. The dial is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, which includes a magnifier over the date window at the 3 o’clock position. For visibility in the dark, Timex applied Super-Luminova to the hands and hour markers.
As the name implies, the Deepwater Meridian 200 is built for water resistance up to 200 meters. To achieve this rating, the watch uses a screw-down case back and a screw-down crown. The crown is also flanked by crown guards to prevent it from snagging or taking direct impacts. These seals make the watch capable of handling swimming, snorkeling, and recreational scuba diving.
The watch comes on a 20mm five-link stainless steel bracelet. It secures with a butterfly deployant clasp, which folds in on both sides so that the closure sits flush against the wrist. The bracelet also features quick-release spring bars, allowing you to remove it and swap in different straps without needing a specialized spring bar tool.
The Deepwater Meridian 200 Automatic GMT is available directly from the Timex website.
In related news, Timex has recently expanded its lineup with three new Marlin Mesh watches featuring striking sunray dials. The company also introduced the Deepwater Meridian 300 series, which comes equipped with a titanium case and 300 meters of water resistance.
