This Gorgeous New Timex Is an Reissue of a Vintage Moon Tracker
Humanity’s fascination with the Moon tracks as far back as its interest in tracking time, the changing of the seasons, and navigating the seas. This obsession with its phases and placement in the sky has long allowed people to better understand Earth, which has led many watches to incorporate a “moon phase” complication.

Our obsession with the Moon may have reached its height in the late 1960s when Neil Armstrong first stepped onto its cratered surface. With both of those ideas in mind, Timex has rolled out a new Marlin Moon Phase Multifunction that pays tribute to both the 1960s and our lunar preoccupation.
This new rendition of the ‘60s Marlin features a 40mm stainless-steel case, a jade green dial with applied indices, and a calendar movement with sub-dials that indicate the day of the week, the month, and the date. Its mix of classic material and coloring with four time-measuring complications helps create a watch that feels truly timeless.

To get into the details, the watch has a case diameter of 40 mm, while the case and the bracelet are made of brushed and polished stainless steel. That means it's great for daily wear and you won’t have to worry about rust or corrosion. It’s water resistant up to 50 meters, so it’s even food for a light swim—though you probably shouldn't take it on that winter snorkeling trip to the Caribbean. And It features a quartz analogue movement.

The “moon phase” function is what makes this latest Marlin a true standout—that along with the beautiful green dial. It’s a reminder of what we can expect when we simply look up and that departure from the complications of the everyday is one worth celebrating.
At just $189, the Timex Marlin Moon Phase Multifunction feels like a true gem. It’s simple, yet speaks to humanity’s undying interest in tracking time, and does so with an understated elegance that doesn’t break the bank.
