Product Information

Full details

The Timex Marlin Quartz Chronograph Tachymeter is designed for watch enthusiasts who appreciate classic aesthetics combined with modern functionality. Its key benefit is offering a sophisticated chronograph experience with a striking blue dial and reliable quartz movement at an accessible price point. A potential consideration is its 5-bar water resistance, which is suitable for splashes but not for swimming. This timepiece features a stopwatch, 24-hour display, date function, and a high-quality brown leather strap, all housed within a 40mm silver-tone stainless steel case.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of movement does this watch use?

This watch uses a quartz chronograph movement, which is powered by a battery and offers precise timekeeping along with stopwatch functionality.

Is the watch suitable for swimming?

No, the watch has a water resistance rating of 5 bars (50 meters), which is suitable for splashes and rain but not for swimming, showering, or diving.

What is the material of the watch case?

The watch case is made of stainless steel with a silver-tone finish.

How long is the leather strap?

The brown leather strap measures approximately 21 cm in length and 20 mm in width.

Does the watch have a warranty?

Yes, the watch comes with a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase.

Can I replace the strap myself?

Yes, the watch is equipped with quick-release spring bars, allowing you to easily remove and replace the strap with any standard 20mm watch strap without tools.

What does the tachymeter bezel do?

The tachymeter bezel is a scale used in conjunction with the chronograph to measure speed over a set distance (typically one mile or kilometer). It allows you to calculate average speed based on elapsed time.

Troubleshooting

Chronograph hands not resetting to zero

Ensure the chronograph has been fully stopped before pressing the reset button. If the issue persists, the chronograph mechanism may need adjustment by a qualified watchmaker.

Date not changing correctly

Make sure you are setting the time correctly, advancing past 12 AM for the date change. Avoid changing the date when the watch hands are between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the date-setting mechanism.

Watch is not running

Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch has been stopped for a long time, the battery may be depleted and require replacement.

Strap feels uncomfortable

Adjust the buckle to the nearest hole. If needed, consider purchasing an alternative 20mm strap that better suits your wrist size and comfort preferences.

Combines classic Marlin design with chronograph functionality.
Features a visually striking blue dial and tachymeter bezel.
Reliable quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping.

Supplied with a comfortable and sustainably sourced leather strap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The watch typically comes with the crown in the 'closed' position. To set the time, pull the crown out to the first click for the date and 24-hour display, and to the second click for setting the time. Press the crown back in fully. To operate the chronograph, press the top pusher to start and stop, and the bottom pusher to reset the hands to zero.

Compatibility: The watch is designed to be worn as is. The 20mm leather strap can be easily replaced with other 20mm watch straps (not included) using the quick-release spring bars for a different look or feel.

Care: Clean the stainless steel case and crystal gently with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight, which can cause damage or discoloration. If the strap becomes dirty, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure it dries thoroughly afterwards. Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.
