Restoration Thoughts / Notes:
- Last of the Mechanical Era: By 1990, Timex was shifting heavily toward quartz movements, but the Ref. 20521 proudly retained a mechanical, hand-wound movement—keeping alive the craftsmanship and charm of winding your watch daily.
- Simple and Reliable Design: Its clean white dial, bold Arabic numerals, and slender black hands reflect Timex’s focus on legibility and everyday functionality, ideal for those who value straightforward timekeeping.
- Affordable Durability: With a stainless steel case and water resistance to 25 meters (82 feet), this watch was built to last—proving Timex’s “Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking” mantra applied to even their most basic models.
