Tag 1954 Timex Watches

Vintage Timex from 1954 saw the continuation of watch hand designs transitioning from from Spade style to Batton style. This helped Timex to accommodate lume on the hands. In this exampe you can see use of both alphabet code and branded names for each model. We assume the  codes remained for many use and were potentially used internally to identify models.
