Timex Marlin 1977 Dark Purple

I was given a watch by my father-in-law, and created this page to document all I could find about it. Because of the numbers on the dial I was able to find the full information about the watch. Text on Dial Timex - Water Resistant - Taiwan - 2615102477 Data Measurements are done by me, and might not be the official numbers. See e.g. Width. Model: 2615102477 Width: 34mm (35mm according to most online listings) Length: 36mm Lug-to-lug: 18mm Movement: Calibre M24 (According to forum posts) Pin-lever escapement Crystal: Acrylic Year of manifacture: 1977 (Since all search results seem to have 1977 in its name, I guess it was only made that year) Media Images from Bålsta Auktionshall
