FAQs
Is the Timex Essex suitable for swimming?
No, while it is water-resistant up to 50 meters, it is not designed for swimming, diving, or prolonged submersion.
What is the size of the case?
The watch features a 46mm diameter brass case.
Can I replace the leather strap?
Yes, the watch is compatible with standard watch straps of the appropriate lug width.
Does it have a backlight?
This specific model features luminous hands for visibility in the dark rather than an Indiglo backlight.
What material is the crystal made of?
The dial is protected by a durable mineral glass crystal.
Troubleshooting
The date is changing at noon instead of midnight
Advance the time forward by 12 hours. This resets the internal day/date mechanism to sync with the current AM/PM cycle.
Watch has stopped running
The battery likely requires replacement. Please visit a certified watch technician to avoid damaging the movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the watch is straightforward: pull the crown out to the first click to adjust the date and day of the week, and to the second click to set the precise time. To maintain the life of your Timex Essex, avoid exposing the leather strap to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals, which can cause cracking or discoloration. Clean the glass crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to keep the dial clear. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional jeweler to ensure the case-back gasket remains correctly seated and retains its water-resistant seal.
