American watch manufacturer Timex has unveiled a 38mm version of its classic Giorgio Galli S1 Automatic timepiece, which was previously only available in a larger 41mm case size.
The new watch comes equipped with a 316L stainless steel metal injected molded case fitted with a double curved sapphire crystal glass. Furthermore, the high-end glass comes treated with a triple-layer, anti-glare finish for extra-clean optics. In addition, this version will be powered by a Miyota 9039 automatic with a 42-hour power reserve.
Other than these upgrades to its case, the newly sized Giorgio Galli S1 Automatic maintains the original model's design features. The new 38mm timepiece is currently available on Timex's website, where shoppers can choose between three color schemes: blue, green, and grey.
