A push-pull style winding crown with a black-colored inlay offers access to the movement, and it works together with the caseback to help create 50 meters of water resistance.īoth versions of the new Timex New Giorgio Galli S1 38mm watches feature glossy black time-only dials with the S1 collection’s signature exposed jewel present below the hands, and the “Timex” name sitting opposite it on the upper half of the dial. Like the previous 38mm editions, the new black and gold Timex GGS1 38mm Automatic models feature double curved sapphire crystals with a triple-layer anti-glare coating above their dials, while the reverse side of the watch gets fitted with a screw-down caseback that features a large sapphire display window. The case of the standard-production model receives a black PVD finish, while the limited-edition version features a gold-tone case with each one numbered out of a total of 500 examples. The new Timex Giorgio Galli S1 38mm Automatic watches are based upon the smaller case design of the 38mm models that originally debuted last year, and they feature the same elegant and highly-sculptural skeletonized shape that is made from injection-molded 316L stainless steel. After two different case sizes and several different expressions, the Timex GGS1 is going out on a high note with one last release of two models - one in all black and the other as a limited-edition release in black and gold. That said, all good things must come to an end. For some people, the Giorgio Galli S1 (GGS1) changed their perception of what a Timex watch could be, as it represented an entirely more elevated type of timepiece compared to the budget-friendly classics like the Ironman or Weekender collections that are most frequently associated with the brand. ![]() The initial collaboration model originally made an appearance in 2019 with a 41mm case, and a smaller 38mm version was added to the lineup at the end of 2021. ![]() Try on any of these "small" watches, which we're defining as 38mm in diameter and under, and you’ll see that a small watch might just be the best watch for you.The various S1 watches produced by Timex in collaboration with Italian designer Giorgio Galli have been some of the most popular releases from the brand among enthusiasts over the course of the last few years. The truth is that any size between 35mm and 38mm offers plenty of legibility and simply looks good, even on a larger wrist. So, we are seeing men look at watches more often that are 38mm and under.” Vintage watches of course tend to be on the smaller side. “We have seen smaller watches come back into vogue," says CEO of online pre-owned watch retailer SwissWatchExpo, Eugene Tutunikov, "especially with a trend of vintage pieces being paired with streetwear. Fashion is cyclical, after all, and part of the swing back toward more moderate sizes might be, in part, fatigue with watches that are just too big - ergonomically or visually. Here’s the other side of things, the one a lot of guys think about but don’t mention when they talk abstractly about small watches: They probably haven't seen said watch, taken it into their hands, and said, “But it’s so small!” Men wore them this small throughout the middle of the 20th century, and it's doubtful that we’ve “moved on” from that size. And generally, a watch with a smaller diameter will also be slimmer and have a shorter lug-to-lug length, but there are exceptions, of course. But there’s more going on here: the way a watch wears has just as much to do with its thickness, also measured in millimeters and its lug-to-lug length, literally measuring from the tip of one set of lugs to the other, has much to do with whether you want to take it off at the end of the day or sleep in it. You see, the way a watch sits on the wrist is hugely affected by its diameter, which is mostly what we mean when we refer to a watch’s size. ![]()
