Why? What makes those watches in particular fun to work on?
They look incredible.
Fantastic collection 🤩
#timex is lots of fun
They are stunning looking watches, I'd love to know more about them 👍
Timex introduced the SSQ series in 1975. This was their first LCD module and was managed by a single control knob. In 1976 the SSQ had two push buttons that had different functions depending on their orientation. The module now also had a mini bulb to light the display. In 1978 the name SSQ was dropped and the series became known as Marathon. The use of an LCD module is still very much present today. So incredible to think it all began 50 years back.
What makes these fun to work on is how quickly they can be taken apart, cleaned, polished, fresh battery and back on the wrist. But please don't take this as an invitation to go try one for yourself. Reason is like all vintage Timex parts are no longer available and you will have to either find NOS or donor parts.
