Product Details

This vintage Timex Self-Wind automatic wristwatch is a classic mid-century design produced during the 1960s, when Timex was one of the most recognizable watchmakers in the United States. The Self-Wind models used Timex’s early automatic movements that wound through normal wrist motion. The watch features a cream textured dial with applied Arabic numerals at the even hours and triangular markers at the odd hours. Slim dauphine-style hands and a simple three-hand layout give the watch a clean mid-century aesthetic typical of the period. The stainless steel caseback is marked “Timex – Self-Wind – U.S. Time Corporation – Waterproof – Stainless Steel Back”, consistent with Timex production from the era when the company was still operating under the U.S. Time Corp. name. These early automatic Timex watches are appreciated today for their distinctive vintage design and historical connection to American watchmaking.
