Spinning over all of that you’ve got simple dagger hands that are, unfortunately, not lumed. Then again, the shadows cast by the applied indices are pretty swell as well. This is a dial style more commonly associated with Panerai and Rolex, but it works well here, giving a bit of interest to an otherwise simple dial. That means you’ve got the California dial, with the Roman numerals up top, and Arabic numerals along the bottom. I mean, it’s right in the name – Timex Marlin Automatic California. For starters, you do have that nouveau vintage look, with the champagne-toned dial and raised, applied numerals. But what if dive watches aren’t your thing, and you want something a bit subtler, a bit more vintage looking? That’s where the Timex Marlin Automatic California comes into the picture. In the past, our default recommendation for someone looking to get an everyday automatic has been the Seiko Orange Monster. I’d say their designs have really been churning along as of late, and there’s an argument to be made that the Timex Marlin Automatic California is a great “first automatic” watch. Most of the time, though, those have been quartz, and may not stir the emotions quite as much. And there’s good reason for it – they’re simple watches, and just quietly go about their job. I think at some point, just about everyone has owned a Timex.
