This vintage Timex Viscount is one of my favorite men’s watches. It features one of Timex’s first solid stainless steel case which makes them extra durable. This Timex Viscount has a hidden lug design. The case of this Timex Viscount is brushed making it scratch resilient compared to overall polished cases. The dial is black with embossed chromed markers. The edge of the dial features a seconds track with lume pips every 5 seconds. The hands are chromed with lumed ends. the words TIMEX and AUTOMATIC are applied to the dial. There is a day-date window framed in white. The date window is trapezoid shaped. At the bottom of the dial is the word WATER RESISTANT.
