A massive thanks to Jim (@ticking_since) for spending the time to photograph these manual pages – go and follow him on Instagram! I’ve had examples but never seen reference material for many of the following Timex watches which come from a UK / EU manual. I suspect that makes this post a world first!

Aside from the models there’s some interesting differences between this EU and the USA manual. Firstly the format. This EU Timex catalog is A4 and much larger than the USA version. Secondly the naming conventions. The Sprite is renamed as a “boys waterproof” model. some stand along types can be found including “rectangular” and “square” which are both considered as Mercury models in the USA.

I am floored at the fact that super thin models are classified as ladies watches. Who knew? (well Jim obviously!)
