It’s unclear exactly what movement is inside the Marlin, but it does hack. Watches being delivered come with a sticker that reads “MOVT CHINA,” which leads me to believe the movement might be from SeaGull, China’s largest movement manufacturer, but it’s possible the movement is sourced from one of the several other Chinese makers. When I get a conclusive answer, I’ll update this post.

On the wrist, the Marlin wears like a true vintage piece, and by that I mean it wears true to its 34mm size. For those of us who are used to wearing smaller vintage pieces, this won’t feel any different.

Altogether, this is a fun little package from the brand, and I’m curious to see if this is just the first of future mechanical offerings from Timex. Frankly, I’m surprised it took this long. Timex
