Vintage Military Style 24 hour TIMEX watch. I have had this for a few years but have never worn it. Mechanical movement seems to work fine. From a basic internet search it seems this was made and sold in the mid 1970s.

The size of the lugs is 16mm so this watch is fairly small. There are very slight scratches on the face (camera flash makes these look more severe than they really are)

Back says "Base Metal Bezel, Water Resistant, Stainless Steel Back"
Also in small letters at the bottom on the front it says "Great Britain 22729 02579"

Comes with a cheap acrylic-like strap that has "W-Germany" on the buckle.

The tips of the hour and minute hands, and the dots at each hour have luminescent paint that still glows faintly in the dark.

Will be shipped in a felt watch case
