Timex has released a new analog watch (TW2Y89300) in the US market. The Expedition Sierra Chronograph is now available on the company’s website for $179. It is a traditional battery-powered quartz watch, offering standard timekeeping and stopwatch functions rather than any connected or smart features.
Design Details
The watch features a 43mm case made of brass, finished in a brushed silver tone. With a case height of 12.5mm and a lug-to-lug measurement of 52mm, it is a relatively standard size for a modern chronograph, though it might feel a bit large on smaller wrists.
The face is protected by mineral crystal. This is a common material for watches in this price range, providing basic heat and scratch resistance, though it won’t be as durable as the sapphire crystal typically found on more expensive models.
On the dial, Timex went with a straightforward tan color scheme. It uses standard Arabic numerals for the hours and includes a small date window. The chronograph function is displayed across three sub-dials located at the 12, 9, and 6 o’clock positions.
To make the dial easier to read, the main hands and hour markers are coated with luminescent paint for low-light visibility, and the central second hand is painted yellow for a bit of visual contrast.
The watch runs on a standard quartz analog movement powered by an SR920SW battery. The stopwatch function is operated by two standard pushers located above and below the crown, allowing you to start, stop, and reset the timer.
For water resistance, the Expedition Sierra is rated to 100 meters. This means it is fine for surface swimming, snorkeling, or getting caught in the rain, but it is not built for scuba diving. Timex also says that you should not press the chronograph buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.
The model ships with a 20mm tan fabric strap that secures with a basic buckle. According to specs, the strap is designed to fit wrist circumferences between 5.9 and 8.1 inches.
In related news, Timex has recently launched two new affordable Weekender watches with classic dials and quartz movements, while Casio has launched a new G-Shock watch in the US with heart rate tracking, solar charging, and tide forecasts.
