Up until this model, the only early Timex marlin watches in my collection had straight sword style hands. This model has lumed leaf hands making it an oddity on my collection. Aside from that detail this Timex Marlin has a gold plated case, steel case back and a 16mm lug width. The dial is 2 tone with a cream, potentially sun damaged inner circle, and a white outer minutes track. The markers are arabic and lumed. Printed on the dial in black is the word TIMEX, in red WATERPROOF.
There are alternative versions of this watch which are identifiable by deciphering the reference:
W – Waterproof
C – Chrome plated case
G – Gold plated case
S- Sweeping Seconds Hand
R – Radiolite Lume (Radio-active)
