Timex has released a new mechanical watch in the US market, the Expedition Field Post Titanium Automatic. It is now available on the Timex US website for $429.
Timex Expedition Field Post Titanium Automatic Specs
The watch comes with a 41mm titanium case finished with a black IP coating. Titanium is commonly used in outdoor and everyday watches because it is significantly lighter than stainless steel, making the larger case more comfortable for daily wear while retaining good durability.
The case measures 13.5mm thick with a 50mm lug-to-lug distance. Timex has also included a screw-down crown and a threaded case back, giving the watch a water resistance rating of 200 meters. This means it is safe for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving, provided you don’t adjust the crown while submerged.
On the front, the watch uses a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal treated with an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare. The dial itself is black with a textured finish, featuring standard full Arabic numerals and a date window located at the 3 o’clock position. For reading the time in the dark, Timex applied Super-LumiNova pigment to the hands and hour markers, which charges in ambient light and glows when the lights go out.
Inside, the watch is powered by a 21-jewel mechanical automatic movement. Because it is an automatic watch, it does not use a battery. Instead, it winds itself using the natural motion of your wrist as you wear it. It holds a 40-hour power reserve, meaning if you take it off for a weekend, it will eventually stop and need to be manually wound using the crown to get it running again. You can see the internal mechanics working through an exhibition window on the back of the case.
The watch comes with a 20mm brown leather strap. The strap also features quick-release spring bars, making it easy to swap it out for a different band without needing any specialized watch tools.
In related news, Citizen has recently launched two new Eco-Drive watches featuring sapphire crystal and rectangular cases, while Timex has launched five new Q Timex Marbella watches with retro-inspired designs and textured dials.
