Telling the date on some Timex watches

Lots and lots of questions on this. Timex, fortunately, is one of the few makers which left a code allowing identification of the watch.



See picture above:
Timex had a code. The code is printed on dial in very small numbers above six o' clock. The last two numbers (all the way on the right) correspond to the year, 65 is made in 1965, etc. The next two (or sometimes three) numbers, moving leftward, are the movement number. The first four numbers are the catalog/model number.

  1. Personally I just like the fact that there are tiny moving parts in there that are working in conjunction with each other in order to precisely keep time.
