Timex has officially launched a trio of new Automatic E Line watches in the US, reviving a classic 1983 dress watch design. The new lineup leans heavily into the current industry trend of retro reissues, utilizing a rounded square case, often referred to by watch enthusiasts as a TV Dial, while upgrading the internals with a standard Japanese automatic movement.
Design Details
The new E Line models feature a 38mm stainless steel case, stepping up slightly in size to meet modern wrist preferences while retaining the original vintage silhouette. The watches measure 45.5mm lug-to-lug with a case thickness of 12.5mm.
Timex is offering three distinct variations for this release: a silver-tone model with a horizontally textured blue dial (TW6A00700), a silver-tone model with a matching silver dial (TW6A00500), and a two-tone stainless steel variant with a silver dial (TW6A00600).
Across all three models, the dial design remains uniform. Timex has opted for a clean layout featuring a horizontal texture, distinct applied hour markers, a basic printed minute track, and a date window positioned at 3 o’clock.
Inside the case, Timex is using the Miyota caliber 8215. This is a well-known, entry-level Japanese automatic movement featuring 21 jewels and a 40-hour power reserve. It operates via the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist, though it can also be hand-wound via the crown. Timex has included an exhibition case back, allowing users to view the mechanical movement in action.
For the hardware, the watches are fitted with a stainless steel bracelet that tapers down to a butterfly deployant clasp, designed to create a seamless look when closed on the wrist.
The dial is protected by a vintage-style flat mineral crystal, and the case carries a water resistance rating of 50 meters, making it suitable for light splashes but not intended for swimming or diving.
Pricing and Availability
The standard silver-tone models are priced at $379, while the two-tone version costs $399. All three are listed on the Timex US website, with two currently available for pre-order and one available for purchase.
In related news, Timex has recently launched new vintage-inspired Quartz E Line watches with elegant sunray dials and five new Q Timex Marbella watches featuring retro designs and textured dials.
