Vintage Timex Electric Dynabeat Wristwatch
This is a vintage Timex Electric Dynabeat wristwatch, likely dating from the late 1960s to early 1970s. The timepiece features a round stainless steel or base metal housing with a distinctive fixed brushed-metal bezel engraved with numerical hour markers from 1 to 12. The matte black dial displays the 'Timex Electric' branding at 12 o'clock and the 'Dynabeat' script at 6 o'clock, indicating it uses use a high-beat electric movement (likely the Model 253 or similar). The dial is appointed with applied rectangular silver-tone indices and a date window located at the 3 o'clock position. The hands appear to be baton-style with aged luminous inserts. Physically, the watch shows significant signs of wear consistent with age and storage; the acrylic crystal is heavily scratched and clouded. The case and bezel show surface abrasions and some grime buildup. It is attached to a heavily worn, black textured leather-style strap that is covered in dust and debris. The overall condition suggests the piece is currently a 'project' watch or for parts, needing a full movement service, a new battery, and cosmetic restoration including a crystal replacement to return it to functional and collectible condition.
