Timex Waterbury Traditional Owner Review : Simple, functional and light

This watch is quite substantial, though not particularly heavy, weighing 135g (with the strap). Its 42mm diameter case is reminiscent of the brand's historical models—pocket watches, I imagine. Its main advantage is its legibility. The numerals are easily readable, and the sword hands stand out against the black dial. In short, it's perfect for reading the time, even in the dark, thanks to the touch of Luminova on the hands. The mechanical movement is perfectly silent; compared to the Younger & Bresson movement, the silence is truly appreciated. However, the oscillating weight is very noisy and oscillates considerably when worn, but it's true that it's silent when at rest. Over time, the dial becomes a bit monotonous. It's flat and enormous. From a distance, it evokes the feel of vintage Timex collections, but it's nothing like them in terms of materials or movement, which are decidedly more modern, smoother, lighter, and more affordable. The watch's soundtrack would be Air - Talisman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RSVa_vF3NI Adjectives: accessible, reminiscent, lightweight, heirloom, fun
