The James Brand x Timex Automatic GMT
A Gift Built to Go Anywhere
A part of our ongoing collaboration with The James Brand, this automatic GMT watch for men boasts craftsmanship and capability in equal measure. It brings upgraded materials and bold new design details to a proven platform, with a solid, sand-blasted stainless-steel case and a forged carbon fiber dial that catches light with every movement.
Powered by the Miyota 9075 automatic ‘true’ GMT movement, it lets him track multiple time zones with precision, making it perfect for frequent travelers and design purists alike. Thoughtful details like Super-LumiNova® in-fill, sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and 200 meters of water resistance ensure this watch performs anywhere his days take him.
Packaged as a premium gift set with both a self-adjustable stainless-steel bracelet and a two-piece fabric strap, this limited-edition gift is a standout choice for the guy who appreciates tools that last and design that speaks for itself.
The Marlin Jet
A Gift with Space-Age Style
For the man who appreciates design that pushes boundaries, the Marlin Jet brings a touch of retro-futurism to his wrist. Inspired by the forward-looking ideals of the 1960s, this sleek 38mm timepiece combines sculptural form with subtle detail. Its defining feature—the full-domed Hesalite crystal—envelops the entire top surface of the case, creating captivating depth and a seamless flow from case to bezel.
The brushed stainless-steel case, grooved bezel bearing the Marlin name, and exhibition case back work in perfect harmony, revealing both craftsmanship and character from every angle. With its concentric detailing, matte crosshair dial, and woven perlon strap, the Marlin Jet captures the optimism of mid-century design in a thoroughly modern watch.
A statement piece for the season, it’s a thoughtful choice that speaks to those who see style as both timeless and forward-thinking.
The Q Timex 1972 Time Machine Reissue
A Gift with ‘70s Boldness
For the man who knows great style always comes back around, the Q Timex 1972 Time Machine Reissue brings unapologetic retro flair to the present day. This archival quartz design captures the bold spirit of the decade with a polished 39mm recycled stainless-steel tonneau case and a striking tiger’s eye dial that shimmers with vintage character.
Floating hour markers, a polished handset, and a trapezoidal date window add depth and precision, while the domed acrylic crystal stays true to the original era. Finished with a geometric stainless-steel bracelet, this vintage-inspired Timex reissue blends nostalgia with modern craftsmanship, making it a great present for those who appreciate statement-making design.
The Waterbury Ace Chronograph
A Gift of Refined Utility
Classic pilot design meets modern craftsmanship in the Waterbury Ace Chronograph—a watch built for the man who values precision and presence. Its 41mm brushed recycled stainless-steel case strikes the perfect balance of confidence and refinement, while the deep green sunray dial and bold Arabic numerals make time checks effortless.
Clean and functional, it pares back excess detail for a true field-inspired look, even trading the Waterbury “W” on the second hand for a sleek, minimal finish. A date window at 6 o’clock, luminous hands, and a self-adjusting stainless-steel bracelet complete a watch that’s as practical as it is polished.
A smart, everyday choice with an edge of adventure—it's the ideal Timex men's watch for the most discerning givers and receivers.
