Large, luminous stick hands—including a dedicated seconds hand—ensure clear visibility in low-light conditions, glowing brightly after exposure to light.

- Indiglo Night-Light Technology: Timex’s signature Indiglo feature provides even, full-face illumination with a soft blue glow at the press of a button. This patented system uses minimal power, preserving battery life while offering reliable visibility in dark environments—perfect for nighttime reading or low-light adventures.
- Durable Silver-Tone Brass Case: The watch case is crafted from solid brass with a brushed, flattened bezel that resists scratches and maintains its finish through daily wear. Its substantial build provides protection for the internal movement while adding a refined, masculine presence on the wrist.
- Genuine Leather Strap: The brown leather band is both comfortable and long-lasting, developing a natural patina over time that enhances its character. With a width of approximately 20mm, it fits securely and suits a wide range of wrist sizes.
- Extended 8-Year Battery Life: Powered by a single included lithium metal battery, the watch is designed for long-term, uninterrupted use—ideal for those who prefer minimal maintenance. The efficient power management system supports continuous operation under normal conditions.
- Water Resistance to 50 Meters (165 Feet): The watch can withstand splashes, rain, handwashing, and brief submersion, making it suitable for everyday activities and light outdoor use. It is not designed for swimming, diving, or high-impact water sports.
