Timex Sprite Dive Watch 1971 Ref. 23270 2471

Brand: Timex
Model: Timex Sprite
Type: Kids watch / sports watch / dive watch
Reference: 23270
Caliber: M24 (manual wind, no date)
Year: 1971
Dial Code: 23270 2471
Dial: White with lumed markers, 25 metre depth rating
Hands: paddle style with lumed ends
Lug Width: 16 mm
Case: chrome plated
Case width: 30 mm

This is a rare piece as other types i have with this design are much earlier, never white, and are cased in a ladies skindiver case. The use of metres in the depth rating identifies this watch as being made for the international, not USA market. This design is based on the earlier skindiver range from 1968.

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).
