Found at the bottom of the dial, and some times underneath the dial retention ring which requires the removal of the crystal or movement from the case, the dial code is 16059 02475. his differs from the catalog reference for this vintage Timex Mercury which as usual, has an extra digit to specify the watch band used in the photograph and is 160.591. The stand out feature of this vintage watch is the color of the dial which is a vivid mat red color adorned with italicized white Arabic numerals. The hands are white and a simple stick shape adding contrast to the design. The case is chrome plated base metal with a stainless steel case back. This vintage Timex Mercury has a lug width of a little over 18mm which gives you access to a wide range of replacement straps.

Hi, My name is Mark Rushworth AKA Timetrope on Social Media. Ive been collecting Timex watches for a little over three years. From day one the community of collectors have been very patient and generous for the most part which has kept my interest and engagement in the hobby.

'Ive set up this website partly as a way of cataloging my collection and its many gaps, and as a way of paying forwards the kindness offered to me by Knut, Ian and others (you know who you are).
