Timex has been classing things up lately, and they’ve added a black dial version to their M79 Automatic dive watch. For less than $300, the M79 easily qualifies as a watch that looks more upscale than its asking price thanks to the combination of a crisp black dial and bezel, vintage lumed markers, Mercedes-style hands, and a beautiful woven stainless steel bracelet. The domed acrylic crystal caps off the classic looks, and it even has a display back. If you don’t want to spend a lot, but you want a stylish timepiece, look no further.
