American watch brand Timex is currently offering two timepiece styles that are perfect for men looking to expand their workear wardrobe. These include the brand's signature Marlin Mechanicals and T80 assortments, both of which feature a similar aesthetic appeal but differ substantially in design elements.
First up, Timex's Marlin Mechanical styles see the brand reissuing its classic 1960s-era design. These watches feature a stainless steel case, a retro-style domed lens, and a mechanical movement that is lifted directly from the original Marlin models. Meanwhile, Timex's T80 timepiece features a 34mm stainless steel case and bracelet, and a retro-inspired digital display. This piece is designed by the company as being a "throwback to the decade that gave us big hair, big music, and big dreams."
