Review of the TX 400

TheTX 400 may be a departure from TX's standard aesthetics, but like theirother models, the 400 is designed around usable and handy features. Theentire dial is focused toward the date and time. The hands are largeand the contrast of the black dial makes reading the time easy. Thechapter ring carries the dial markers and surrounds another ring thatoutlines the month as it corresponds with the perpetual calendar. Thequartz movement is powered by a 4-year battery and once set, theperpetual calendar is accurate until the year 2100 and willautomatically adjust for leap years and short months like February. Theorange tipped date/month hand is windowed to show the day of the weekinitial and points directly to the date number in the curved windowswhich shows the dates numbers for the entire week. This bags for gift hascontinued to get wrist time because with a cabinet full of automatics, itwas always set, even on the 1st of the month. The case isalways important on a dress watch because the bags gift online needs to fit wellon your wrist to be worn under sleeves and cuffs. The TX 400 is greatin this area; its thin case and nicely sculpted lugs sit tight with theincluded leather strap. The dial has an embossed design, and the entirelook comes together well *** the 400 easily the most understatedwatch in the TX lineup. The overall design is reminiscent of theHamilton Jazzmaster series as the 400 remains classy but has a modern46mm case. It is light, easy to read, and the perpetual calendar is anice feature that blends into the functionality of this relatively*** looking watch. In a market that is seemingly pushing towardsmore bling, logo's, and shiny bits on every watch, it's nice to see TXlooking back at successful designs of the past and building a look thatis in a completely positive sense. This is a nice watch thatoffers but highly usable quartz movement, an attractive andelegant design, and a competitive price point of $495.00.r It is a rare occasion that I am sent a dress watch amid the bevy ofdivers that swim through my collection. I have had the opportunity toreview two previous TX models and both were multifunction chronographswith busy dials and many duties beyond date and time. The 400 Series isa different piece altogether: an attractive and dress gifts for jewelry that matches its understated look with and functionalperpetual calendar quartz movement.
