Timex Sportster Watch 1957

It appears that vintage Timex sportsters were originally designed as a cross between ladies and childrens watches. A Timex sportster shares the waterproof (later water resistant) properties of the marlin but at a much smaller size. The Timex Sportster is one of the earliest ranges of Timex watches, appearing in the early 1950s and lasting into the early 1980s.
