It has been almost a year to the day since Timex released the Automatic 1983 E Line, a compact retro sports watch powered by a respectable Miyota automatic movement.
The minimalist TV dial debuted in solid navy blue and robin’s egg blue, each with a glossy finish, along with a uniform brushed-steel motif. Now, the collection is refreshed for the coming spring with two sunburst dials in eye-catching pastel colors.
The revived E-Line, which you may have guessed dates back to 1983, received its first sunburst dial in late 2025 with a limited-edition gold-toned version featuring a green dial. The radial brushing proved to be such a nice complement to the brushed stainless steel case that Timex brought it back.
This time, the original steel case and bracelet are complete with a sunburst dial in ice blue or faded pink. The chamfered, pointed stick indices, printed dash minutes track and toothpick hands remain unchanged.
On both colors, Timex and “automatic” are printed in black at 12:00, joined by the odd choice of a “water resistant” symbol at 6:00, despite the watch offering only 50m of water resistance, making it one of the features least worthy of advertisement.
A discreet date window still sits in place of an hour marker at 3:00 with no frame. The date track is printed in black on a white disc for both dial colors.
