TIMEX AUTOMATIC 1983 E-LINE REISSUE
A stylish entry point into watch ownership, you wouldn’t guess its price tag. A 34mm stainless steel case is paired with what’s known as a TV dial, owing to its rounded-rectangular shape. It’s water-resistant to 50 metres and powered by a Miyota calibre 8215 Japanese movement with 21 jewels and 60 hours of power reserve. Timex’s clever ‘Perfect Fit’ bracelet is made of stainless steel but has some elasticity, so it’s easy to get on and off. £190, timex.co.uk
