Marlin Jet: A Space Age Sensation
Our Marlin® Jet captures futuristic design ideals of the ‘60s with understated details and a 38mm brushed stainless-steel case that introduces a sleek new silhouette to our iconic Marlin line. However, its most defining feature is the domed crystal. Made from Hesalite—a refined form of acrylic favored for its clarity and ease of maintenance—the crystal covers the entire top surface of the watch case, enveloping the grooved bezel bearing the Marlin name and bringing captivating depth to the watch's retro-futuristic appearance. It blends seamlessly into the flat case sides, leaving only the lugs exposed. The case sides smoothly transition to a screwed-on exhibition case back that mirrors the crystal’s domed contour, enhancing the watch’s streamlined profile and space-age aesthetics. You’ll find a concentric circle pattern in three key locations on this timepiece: beneath the dome on the inner bezel, on the crown, and on the case back. The silver-white concave dial showcases a crosshair pattern punctuated with a 24-hour format sub-dial beside the 9 o’clock marker. Completing the look, we’ve paired the Marlin Jet with a blue woven perlon strap that introduces a subtle textural element to its clean design.Specifications

It is a softer material that can be more prone to scratches but conversely is very shatter-resistant. Given its softness any scratches though can be buffed out.

"Clean watch, love the strap, shipping was quick and easy. Amazing purchase."
Beautiful watch face and just
"Beautiful watch face and just the classic look I was after. Only thing that lets it down a bit is the strap. It looks fairly thick and robust in the images but in reality it’s pretty thin and flimsy. I can always change it of course but expected a bit better for the money."
Timex are just getting better,
"Timex are just getting better, excellent quality and design highly recommended, the first watch I ever bought was a Timex Marlin when I was 15 and I am now 58, thanks Timex keep up the good work."

"OK - I expected battery but seem to be Ok with movement wind up."
A great looking watch but
"A great looking watch but feels and sounds cheap. The automatic mechanisms sound like they are grinding from the get-go so I don't hold out much hope for it's lifespan. I like the design of the fabric strap which allows for exact fitting on the wrist but taking everything into consideration I would say this watch is overpriced."
Nice watch , horrible strap
"The watch is a beautiful piece of classic 60s sytling, let down by a thin cheap looking and feeling blue strap. Once I had replaced the strap with a much better black and silver/grey stripe nato strap it was perfect."
Q&A
- Is it possible to get this Marlin variant with a black fabric strap instead of blue?
- Hi Andy! All our watches are sold as shown in the product images, so we do not offer customization, such as changing the band strap. However, you can purchase a separate replacement strap with the correct lug width if you’d prefer a different one.
- Is the hesalite crystal scratch resistant? It is not a material I have heard of before, or seen used by other manufacturers? How hard is it?
- Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. The crystal on this watch is made from Hesalite, which is a refined form of acrylic. While it is not as hard or scratch-resistant as sapphire, it is highly valued for its clarity and ease of maintenance, and minor scratches can usually be polished out without difficulty.
- Is it automatic
- Hello William! Thank you for reaching out with your question about the Marlin® Jet Automatic 38mm Fabric Strap Watch. Yes, this model is indeed automatic, meaning it is powered by the movement of your wrist rather than a battery. It’s a classic mechanical design that winds itself as you wear it, offering both timeless style and modern convenience.
- Can a leather strap be added
- Hello Adrienne ! Great choice with the Marlin® Jet Automatic—it’s a standout piece with retro-futuristic flair. Yes, a leather strap can be added to the watch. While all of our watches are sold as seen in the product images, you can purchase a compatible leather strap separately and swap it out to customize your watch. This allows you to enjoy the same automatic movement with a different look and feel for everyday wear.
- Is the 24hr sub dial independent of the main dial so that it can track a different time zone?
- Hi Stuart! Greetings! That’s a great question! The 24-hour sub-dial on the Marlin® Jet Automatic 38mm Fabric Strap Watch is not independent of the main timekeeping dial—it functions as a reference for the main time, displaying the same hour in a 24-hour format. This means it cannot be set separately to track a different time zone.
