We have tracked some fantastic deals on quartz Timex sports watches lately, but folks with a penchant for the higher-end automatic manual winders will definitely want to scope out the deal we spotted on the Timex M79 today. You can now land the Coke-style black and red bezel model down at $162.70 shipped. This is a regularly $289 timepiece that happens to be on sale directly from Timex at a higher $217 right now. You’re looking at over $123 in savings via the Amazon listing to deliver the best price around on a diver that, frankly, should cost a whole lot more.
The Timex M79 lands in your collection with a steel 40mm case alongside an integrated stainless steel woven bracelet (that also looks far more pricey than it is today). A 21-jewel mechanical movement is at the heart of the operation here, delivering a manual-wound 40-hour power reserve showcased in all its glory via the exhibition case back.
The Rolex GMT II-style two-tone black and red bezel features a notched edge with what I would call a cross somewhere between Mercedes an Baton-style hands joined by a day-date aperture at the 3 o’clock position. Its design clearly sits somewhere between the Submariner, a GMT, and a Black Bay, just for somewhere roughly between $3,300 and $15,000 less.
Prefer the Pepsi blue and red vibes instead? We are tracking the quartz Timex Harborside down at well below the MSRP right now as well.
