Retro watches are the rage these days, and so too are watches with compact cases. Gone are the days when a 42mm case was the default for a men’s watch; nowadays you’ll find a huge selection of smaller, gender-neutral timepieces that work perfectly on almost everyone’s wrist.
Those two boxes – retro design and a compact size – are ticked by the Timex Automatic 1983 E-Line Reissue, but there’s much more to this watch than that.
