Vintage Timex watches manufacturered in 1949 represent the 5th year of production under the Timex Brand. Watches from this year do not yet have range names. Instead, a single letter was used to identify each model. As a result there is no distinguishing code between chrome and gold plated models with most models being shown as gold in advertizements from this year (requires verification). 1949 Timex models continued the trend of having small cases and lug widths.
