About this deal

The watches are created using both battery-powered quartz movements and automatic mechanical movements.

It’s a proven, functional mechanism, and (other than some instances we’ll discuss later) it maintained more or less perfect timekeeping over its stay. Like the cases, the dials of the Timex Waterbury Ocean collection keep the overall look simple and classical, with clean, bright highlights. The dial surfaces themselves match the colorways and textures of their respective cases for an attractively cohesive monochrome look in images. Timex tops these surfaces with elemental polished baton hands and matching faceted applied indices. With only two lines of dial text and a symmetrical no-date layout, the brand dedicates as much visual real estate as possible to preserving the visual texture of the plastic material, while keeping the design light and airy in images.But that’s the point, right? And somehow, the Ocean manages not to feel like a toy. This is due in large part to the excellent polishing on its metal surfaces. (Photo/Josh Wussow)

I’m guessing this is part of #tide’s production, and it’s genuinely attractive. (Photo/Josh Wussow)I know, I know, that’s not why we enjoy mechanical movements, but it’s still a gut punch to realise that the peak of Rolex accuracy, losing just two seconds a day, is promptly walked all over by a pretty basic quartz calibre. Aside from the replacement of a battery, a cheap and easy thing to do yourself if you’re into that sort of thing, the Miyota quartz in the Timex is just better at doing the one thing it’s meant to do: telling the time and telling it accurately. By contrast, an old, banged-up Peugeot that cost you ten bob and an old slipper delivers the most luxurious experience imaginable: stress-free freedom. You can go anywhere with it, do anything with it, and no matter what, it’ll never be worth less than ten bob and an old slipper. And the Swiss know a thing or two about timekeeping. And after several weeks with this new combined effort, I’d call it a successful pairing.
