Key Features

• INDIGLO Backlight: The signature INDIGLO night-light illuminates the entire watch face with a soft, even glow, making it easy to read the time in low-light or dark conditions—ideal for night hikes, early mornings, or emergency situations. A simple press of the crown activates the light, providing visibility without disrupting night vision. This feature has been a hallmark of Timex watches for decades, trusted by users who need reliable illumination in unpredictable settings.
• Durable Comfortable Adjustable Strap: The adjustable strap is designed for long-term wear, offering a secure fit that conforms to your wrist. Built from resilient materials, it withstands exposure to moisture, sweat, and frequent use without losing shape or comfort. The strap accommodates a range of wrist sizes and can be comfortably worn over clothing layers or under sleeves, making it adaptable for various activities and climates.
• Rugged Outdoor Design: Inspired by field watches used by explorers, the Expedition series features a robust construction with a 43mm case that resists impacts and daily wear. Its utilitarian aesthetic includes a clear, easy-to-read dial with high-contrast markings for quick time checks. The case design prioritizes functionality, with a fixed bezel and straightforward layout that minimizes distraction and maximizes usability in active conditions.
• 100M Water Resistance: Rated for water resistance up to 100 meters (330 feet), this watch can handle swimming, snorkeling, and water sports. It’s suitable for recreational diving and wet conditions, though not recommended for high-speed water activities or deep diving. This level of protection ensures the watch remains functional during water-based adventures, from river crossings to pool sessions.
• Chronograph Functionality: Equipped with stopwatch capabilities, the chronograph allows precise timing of events, intervals, or workouts. Subdials track elapsed minutes and seconds, making it useful for training, fieldwork, or timed tasks. The pushers are designed for easy operation, even with gloves, supporting accurate measurement during physical activities or operational routines.
