Timex's Marlin Jet Quartz Chronograph captures futuristic design ideals of the '60s with understated details and a sleek 40mm brushed stainless-steel case. However, its most defining feature is the domed crystal. Made from Hesalite-a refined form of acrylic favored for its clarity and ease of maintenance-the crystal covers the entire top surface of the watch case, enveloping the grooved bezel bearing the tachymeter index and bringing captivating depth to the watch's retro-futuristic appearance. It blends seamlessly into the flat case sides, leaving only the lugs exposed. The case sides smoothly transition to a screwed-on case back that mirrors the crystal's domed contour, enhancing the watch's streamlined profile and space-age aesthetics. You'll find a concentric circle pattern in two key locations on this timepiece: beneath the dome on the inner bezel and on the case back. The obsidian brown concave dial showcases contrasting sub-dials and a date window beside the 6 o'clock marker. Completing the look is a tanned obsidian brown natural leather strap equipped with quick-release spring bars for easy strap changes without the need for tools.
