The Todd Snyder Timex Marlin Mesh has landed with a $199 price tag, three sun-washed dial options and a mesh bracelet that gives Timex’s retro Marlin a fresh summer turn.
The collaboration went on sale Tuesday, July 28, according to Rolling Stone, through Timex.com, ToddSnyder.com and all Todd Snyder retail locations. The watch is available in silver, aqua and salmon.
What is the Todd Snyder x Timex Marlin Mesh?
The Todd Snyder x Timex Marlin Mesh is a new version of Timex’s Marlin, the vintage-inspired model that Timex first reissued in 2017, according to Rolling Stone. This edition keeps the Marlin’s midcentury mood and adds a mesh bracelet plus dial colors pitched for warm-weather dressing.
Todd Snyder said in a release that reworking a classic watch gave the brand a chance to honor the original while making something suited to a modern wardrobe. Snyder called the new watch “the quintessential summer accessory” and described the style as easy and timeless.
The design brief, according to Rolling Stone, was built around the idea of a watch that might sit on the wrist of a midcentury traveler on the Italian Riviera or a leading man in European films. The aqua and salmon shades were tied to Mediterranean blues and sunset tones in the brand’s materials.
The watch is being positioned as a piece that can move between casual and dressier outfits. Rolling Stone described it as a match for both summer wedding suits and swim trunks, which is exactly the sort of range a $199 warm-weather watch is meant to tempt.
Why does the Marlin name matter?
The Marlin has become one of Timex’s key vintage-style watches since its 2017 return, Rolling Stone reported. The original reissue arrived as more men were looking at smaller watches with older-school proportions, and the model sold out several times in the years that followed.
Rolling Stone reported that the original Marlin was sold out on Timex.com at the time of its report. Since that first reissue, Timex has released multiple Marlin variations through its online store.
The Todd Snyder partnership also comes with a sellout history. Rolling Stone noted that earlier Todd Snyder x Timex collaborations, including the 1976 Lexington reissue, had sold out online.
For shoppers tracking the new drop, the concrete details are straightforward: $199, three colors, mesh bracelet, and availability through Timex, Todd Snyder’s site and Todd Snyder retail shops. The Riviera fantasy is optional, but the watch is clearly dressed for it.
