Vintage Timex sprite watches are mid-size and aimed mainly at children. Case widths are typically 30.5mm and straps cater for a smaller wrist.
The use of Waterproof or Water Resistant text on the dial often confuses new Timex collectors as these are typically an indication that a watch is from the Marlin range. However, as Timex Sprite watches were also designed to be rugged every day wears, they too carry these markings.
Timex Sprite watches span many different sub generes of watches. From simple 2 hand dress watches and field watch style dials to bezelled dive watches and funky pieces with brightly colored graphic dials, these watches are highly collectible.
