Timex and The James Brand have joined forces once again to create a timepiece that redefines adventure-ready elegance: The James Brand × Timex Automatic GMT Watch ($749). With its rugged construction and refined design, this second edition brings even more to the table, targeting those who crave both the thrill of exploration and the sophistication of a meticulously crafted timepiece.
Built to be the ultimate companion for adventurers, this watch features a 41mm titanium case that balances durability with comfort. The lightweight 6al-4v titanium bracelet pairs perfectly with the case, giving it a minimalist yet elevated aesthetic that’s signature to The James Brand. For those times when you want a different feel, a secondary resin strap is included, offering versatility and adaptability for any journey. The quick-release spring bars ensure that switching straps is a breeze, allowing you to adapt the watch to whatever your adventure demands.
At its core, the James Brand × Timex GMT is powered by the impressive Miyota 9075 automatic GMT movement. With 24 jewels and a true GMT capability, this movement allows you to effortlessly track two time zones—a must for those with an explorer’s spirit. The automatic movement means no winding is necessary, though you’re more than welcome to wind it yourself, feeling that satisfying mechanical connection. It’s a watch designed for the modern adventurer, one who needs function without sacrificing style.
Every detail of this watch speaks to its adventurous purpose. The unidirectional rotating bezel, paired with a 3-position screw-down crown, enhances its usability in any environment, while the anti-reflective coated sapphire crystal provides pristine clarity, regardless of the conditions. The black dial, with its tapered hands and applied indices filled with Super-LumiNova®, offers legibility in low-light situations—perfect for nights under the stars or early morning flights. Flip the watch over, and you’ll find an exhibition case back that offers a glimpse of the intricate 24-jewel automatic movement, a touch that any horology enthusiast will appreciate.
Limited to just 750 units, each individually numbered, The James Brand × Timex Automatic GMT is an exclusive piece that combines practicality, elegance, and the spirit of adventure. Whether you’re scaling mountains, exploring new cities, or navigating daily life, this timepiece is designed to be with you every step of the way—crafted not just for a moment, but for a lifetime.
