One of the most beautiful watches of the 250th edition is Timex’s Marlin America 250. Part of the brand’s vintage-inspired and hugely popular Marlin collection, it takes the form of a 34mm stainless steel dress watch with polished surfaces, a domed acrylic crystal and a push-pull crown. Meanwhile, the silver dial features an outer railroad minute track, applied blue Arabic, dash and triangular indices, a luminous leaf handset with a red seconds hand and a subtle 250 above 6 o’clock. Powered by a quartz movement and equipped with a blue alligator-pattern leather strap, it retails for just $169 – affordable enough for the whole family. Timex went big for the anniversary with a total of five special editions, including new editions of the Waterbury and Weekender.
