Timex TW2Y06300 Marlyn Automatic Watc

A Revival of Jet-Age Charm

The Timex Marlin Jet Automatic TW2Y06300 draws straight from the golden age of design when streamlined shapes and space-age optimism defined taste. Timex has resurrected the “Marlin Jet” name from its mid-century archives, and the result is a 38mm stainless steel case that embraces smooth, flowing lines rather than sharp angles. The domed mineral crystal extends the retro feel, while the open caseback reveals an automatic movement that updates this icon for a mechanical-minded audience.

Mechanical Heart, Contemporary Build

At its core, the Marlin Jet houses a 21-jewel automatic calibre with a 40-hour power reserve, giving it both everyday practicality and a welcome connection to traditional watchmaking. The watch beats at 21,600 vph, maintaining steady accuracy and reliability. This isn’t a quartz reissue masked in vintage styling it’s a mechanical piece built to be worn and wound by the motion of daily life.

Details That Make the Difference

The dial is a deep black sunray finish, accented by polished applied hour markers and slender hands that recall the space-age originals. A circular date window rests neatly at 3 o’clock, completing the layout without cluttering the design. The stainless steel case sits at a versatile 38mm diameter with a slim profile that slides under a cuff, while the drilled lugs give it a tool-watch edge. Timex pairs it with a black woven fabric strap that keeps the vintage lines grounded in casual, modern wearability. Water resistance is rated to 50 meters, giving the Marlin Jet everyday durability to match its nostalgic charm.

The Archive Meets the Everyday

The Timex Marlin Jet TW2Y06300 isn’t just a revival it’s a reminder of how mid-century optimism still feels fresh on the wrist. By bringing together a classic 1960s silhouette with an automatic movement and today’s build quality, Timex has created a watch that slips equally into a rotation of vintage collectors and first-time mechanical buyers.
