few weeks ago, and I have finally gotten a chance to review.\u00a0 This is a squarish faced Timex, of unknown vintage.\u00a0 I am sure if I opened up the case, I would see a manufacture date, but if a watch is running well, I don&#8217;t mess with them.<\/p>\n<p>The dial is a rounded square with simple, chrome plated stick markers.\u00a0 The case is base metal with a stainless steel back.\u00a0 The hands are also simple sticks, and there is no luminous material.\u00a0\u00a0 The look is retro, yet modern.<\/p>\n<p><a

horrible plastic strap, which I replaced with a metal band.\u00a0 The movement is a new one for me.\u00a0 It has a semi-quick set date, which I have not seen on a Timex yet.\u00a0 The automatic movement also can be hand wound, but does not hack.\u00a0 It looks like it has a Timex 32 movement, which puts it at the top end of the Timex pin lever movements.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I really like this watch.\u00a0 It is simple, elegant, and even has a quick set date.\u00a0 At $5, you really can&#8217;t go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Features:<br \/>\nCase: 34mm,\u00a0 chrome plated base metal, square, water reistant.<br \/>\nBack: Stainless Steel, snap on, claims water resistant.<br \/>\nCrystal: Acrylic, flat.<br \/>\nMovement: Timex 32 18,000 BPH movement, pin lever.<br \/>\nComplications: Date, with quick set.<br \/>\nOther: Stainless after market bracelet.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single
