Timex Quartz 610 Analogue watch

I'm afraid it's a relatively normal watch for today's blog post.

This watch is made by Timex, and is a quartz movement analogue watch. It has a 3 hand dial, with date marker at the 3 o'clock position.

There is an unusual part to the display though - the main numbering around the dial shows 13-24 rather than 1-12 (as this is in smaller writing on an inner ring of text). There is also a rotating bezel with the compass points marked, but I think that is more decorative than of use.

This model is in dark blue and has a woven style leather strap. It says it is water resistant, however no details are given as to how much. Battery wise, it takes a CR2016 cell.

The only number on the back that could be a model number is B8, however there seem to be other different dial watches with this number too (with only 2 hands and no date, so it can't be the module number either). If it follows the code for mechanical watches, it could be the date stamp, and would mean an August 1994 manufacture. The price label that came with it mentions No. 610 though.

The original sale price was 7,800 yen.
