The Timex watch company has been around here in the United States making high-quality timepieces since 1854, and that experience honed over a century lets their watches offer some of the best value you can add to your everyday carry. In fact, they helped pioneer the very idea of having a watch on your wrist in the first place (as opposed to having a bulky pocket watch instead). And in celebration of their rich heritage in designing and making watches in the USA, they’ve put together a new American Documents line featuring classy styling with American parts and a case and strap made by American craftsmen in Connecticut, with a reliable Swiss quartz analog movement. It’s a culmination of their experience making wristwatches, and they’re a great option to consider whether it’s your first Timex, or the latest to add to your collection.
Everything about the American Documents watch is primed for presentation as well as performance. Each watch case is drop-forged with US-source stainless steel and hand polished to a satin finish by hand. Where other watches sport a sapphire glass crystal, the American Documents sports the superior Corning Gorilla Glass 3 that you rely on with devices like your phone, keeping them from getting scratched. Both of these come together to protect the gold-plated Swiss quartz analog movement inside, with a 30 meter water resistance rating for decent protection against the elements.
The watch face is classic and easy to read, with a sub-dial for seconds and a date window complication. Flip over the case and you’ll notice the unique “Aged Waterbury Brass” case back coin with a brass embellishment of the crown that commemorates Timex’s history. With a 41mm case diameter, the American Documents is well-suited for most wrists, and the 20mm American leather strap is built to last.
From the beautiful American and Swiss parts assembled by hand in the United States to the cherry wood presentation box the Timex American Documents watch comes in, it’s clear that this watch is an exceptional demonstration of the brand.
