The TIMEX World Time is not a series of watches that TIMEX produced over time, but seperate versions of existing model lines like Marlin and Electric. You can identify these watches by their amazing bezels. During the seventies at least four TIMEX watches had a world time bezel of which I now have all four in my TIMEX collection.

The TIMEX World Time Bezel

The bezels of the TIMEX Worldtimers are in French. So I guess these watches were produced for the European market. Nice detail is that both Anchorage as well as Skagway (both in Alaska) are on the bezel. As the watches are from 1971 - 1974, this is period correct. Nowadays both cities belong to the same time zone (Yukon Time). In 1983 time in Alaska was changed from 4 time zones into two. So, these bezels give you some historic insight in time measurement as well. 

2023 Reissue TIMEX World Time 1972

One of the many TIMEX watches, issued in recent years, that were inspired by the enormous brand's heritage from the sixties and seventies. In this case it's a one on one copy of the TIMEX Electric World Time from 1972. Same dimensions, same world cities on the bezel, same trapezoid date window. The movement now is quartz of course and the case stainless steel in stead of chrome plated.
