If you’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on a new Timex, you may never have a better opportunity than this week. Timex, as those with an eye for budget-friendly watches will know, has been hitting the nexus of affordability and style for more than 170 years, and is credited with a long list of hits from the sporty Expedition to the Mad Men-esque Marlin.
With many examples of these affordable grails on sale this week, plus a raft of quartz-era bangers in the Q Timex line and a smattering of whimsical Peanuts collabs, the question is not so much, “Should I buy a Timex this week?” as “Which of these many timeless tickers can I not live without?” To assist in this, we’ve narrowed the list down to a dozen; the rest is up to you.
