Timex has released three new automatic watches under its Waterbury Heritage collection. The lineup, which is now available in the US and UK, includes two 39mm day-date models and a 41.5mm GMT version.
Design Details
The two standard Waterbury Heritage Automatic watches feature a 39mm stainless steel case. They measure 13.5mm thick with a 46mm lug-to-lug distance. Internally, Timex is using the Miyota 8205, a basic self-winding movement that provides a day and date complication at the 3 o’clock position.
There are two color configurations available. The first is a blue enamel dial with a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet, priced at $449 or £375. The second option features a black enamel dial with a two-tone bracelet, which costs slightly more at $469 or £385. Both versions include a stationary top ring that matches the dial color.
For those who want to track multiple time zones, Timex has also released the Waterbury Heritage Automatic GMT. This model has a larger footprint, utilizing a 41.5mm case that is 14mm thick with a 48mm lug-to-lug distance.
It runs on the NH34 automatic GMT movement, a 24-jewel caliber common in entry-level mechanical GMT watches. The dial is black, paired with a red GMT hand and a standard date window. It also includes a unidirectional ratcheting bezel split into maroon and black sections. The GMT model is priced at $579 or £475.
Across the entire release, Timex has standardized several hardware components. The dials are covered by domed K1 mineral glass with an anti-reflective coating. While not as scratch-resistant as sapphire crystal, K1 mineral glass is standard for this price bracket. The watches also feature transparent casebacks to show the mechanical movements, and luminescent fill on the hands and hour markers for visibility in the dark.
The watches feature stainless steel bracelets designed for easy adjustment. Quick-release spring bars allow the bracelets to be removed easily, while tool-free links let owners resize them at home. Each bracelet is secured with a butterfly deployant clasp.
All three models offer 50 meters of water resistance, which Timex says is suitable for light swimming but not for diving or snorkeling. The watches are now available through the Timex US and UK storefronts.
In related news, Timex has recently launched two stunning Marlin GMT watches with ice blue and chocolate brown dials, alongside three new Marlin chronographs featuring retro dials and classic racing-inspired details.
