Timex V battery?

[Wayne1]

Hi everyone. Got ahold of a early 90s Timex V. Gotta love the 90s retro look. The problem im having is the watch needs a battery and the old one is missing. The interweb has been no help to at all. So if anyone knows what battery it takes or knows how i can find out this information they would be greatly appreciated. Please and thank you.

Hi  Is it possible to remove the back and supply a picture of the movement as is. It will help in identifying the movement type and therefor the Battery.

Thanks for your reply. Looks like another fellow watchmen knew the answer.

That is indeed the correct answer in all cases. With the watch in hand it has to be opened anyway, and even without pictures or searching, the battery recess can be measured and the battery found from the attached table. 1_Battery Cross Reference Guide.pdf

Hi Wayne, It is always best to include photos on the movement and or caliber number with the question as it eases our diagnosis.       cheers
