Key Features
- Luminous Hands – The watch hands absorb light and glow in low-light conditions, allowing you to check the time clearly during early mornings, late evenings, or inside dimly lit shelters without needing a flashlight. This feature proves especially useful during pre-dawn hikes, overnight camping trips, or power outages.
- 24 Hour Time Display – In addition to standard 12-hour markings, the dial includes a 24-hour track, making it ideal for military personnel, travelers, or anyone who prefers or requires 24-hour timekeeping for precision and clarity. This dual-scale layout supports accurate scheduling across time zones and reduces confusion during international travel or shift work.
- Quick Date Function – A date window at the 3 o’clock position provides at-a-glance calendar information, helping you stay organized during busy days without needing to check your phone or planner. It’s a subtle but practical addition for professionals, students, or parents managing daily routines.
- Rugged Outdoor Design – Built with a metal case and a durable strap, this watch is engineered to withstand daily wear, outdoor elements, and the occasional bump or scrape encountered during field use. The robust construction ensures it holds up under real-world conditions, from rocky trails to urban commutes.
- 50M Water Resistance – The watch can handle splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, making it suitable for light swimming, washing hands, or unexpected downpours. It is not intended for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged submersion, so care should be taken during water-intensive activities.

Benefits & Use Cases
This watch is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable, no-nonsense timepiece for hiking, camping, or daily wear.

The quick date function adds everyday convenience, helping you stay on top of appointments and deadlines. The metal field design ensures longevity through years of use, resisting scratches and impacts common in active settings. Its 50M water resistance means you won’t have to remove it during routine activities like washing your hands, showering, or walking in the rain—though it should not be worn during swimming beyond brief immersion. The lightweight build and compact 40mm case make it comfortable for extended wear, whether on a wrist during a long trek or under a sleeve in casual or professional settings. As part of the Timex Expedition series, it carries a legacy of durability and practical design trusted by outdoor adventurers for decades.
