Product Information
Full details
The Timex Automatic 1983 E Line Watch in Pink is designed for individuals seeking a classic, elegant dress watch with a vintage touch. Its key benefit is the reliable Japanese automatic movement housed in a stylish, easy-to-read 34mm TV Dial case. A potential caveat for some users may be the acrylic crystal, which is more prone to scratching than mineral or sapphire alternatives. This watch features a distinctive rounded square case, a light pink dial with applied hour markers, and a comfortable expansion band with Perfect Fit technology.

Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or is losing time.
Ensure the watch is being worn regularly or manually wind it. Automatic movements rely on motion. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing.
Date is not changing correctly.
Ensure you are not trying to set the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Set the time to past 3 AM, set the date, and then set the correct time.
Scratches on the acrylic crystal.
Minor scratches can often be buffed out using a plastic polish specifically designed for acrylic. For deeper scratches, consult a watch repair professional.
Band feels loose or tight.
The expansion band should offer a comfortable fit. If it feels consistently too loose or tight, consult a watchmaker for potential minor adjustments or consider a strap replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This watch features an automatic movement, meaning it winds itself with the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, you may need to manually wind it by gently turning the crown (while in the closed position) clockwise for about 30-40 turns until you feel resistance. Set the time by pulling the crown out to the desired position. The date can be set by turning the crown backwards in the first pulled-out position.
Compatibility:
- Wrist Size: The stainless steel expansion band is designed to fit a wide range of wrist sizes.
- Strap Adjustment: While the expansion band is generally self-adjusting, if you need minor adjustments, consult a watch professional.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and band with a soft, dry cloth. For the acrylic crystal, use a soft cloth and a specialized acrylic polish if minor scratches appear. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Water Resistance: While rated at 5 bars, avoid prolonged submersion, swimming, or showering with the watch. Ensure the crown is pushed in to maintain water resistance.
- Servicing: Automatic watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) to ensure optimal performance. Consult a qualified watchmaker for servicing.
