Travel makes a great inspiration for a watch. Take the TX 530 here (model number T3C474TX): it's got world map as a dial, 24 cities around the bezel, and a retro design from the days when flight was glamorous. New in 2009, the 'World Time Airport Lounge' is a vintage-inspired design with a brand new six-motor quartz movement. Let's look at the details: Stainless steel case, 44mm by 13mm, 90g on the leather strap. Hour, minute, second, date, and a fourth hand for time in one of 24 global..

Besides, any company that has put over a billion watches on wrists over the years deserves and gets our respect. And now, with their new TX line of premium quartz watches, Timex deserve even more respect. The TX 730 Flyback Ch..

Historic American watchmaker Timex has been doing some interesting things lately. In addition to their broad line of quartz watches, they've reintroduced a line of inexpensive mechanical watches based on Chinese movements, and more recently added upscale lines under the TX brand. These are analog quartz watches, with retrograde displays (where the hands move back and forth in an arc) and lots of hands. Timex designed these in Germany over a five-year period, with six-sigma manufacturi..
