Timex occupies a unique space in the watch world, boasting a heritage that spans over a century and a reputation as one of the largest watchmakers globally. Their name is synonymous with dependable, accessible timekeeping that has graced countless wrists.
Bespoke Post, on the other hand, has built its brand around curating thoughtfully designed goods and experiences for the modern gentleman. When these two forces combine, the result is something that captures the best of both worlds: the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch. This collaboration delves into the Timex archives to resurrect a legend, reimagining it with modern touches for today’s adventurers.
The foundation for this exclusive timepiece is the ’70s-era Viscount, a beloved model from Timex’s history. This collaboration takes that archive legend and thoughtfully expands its retro casing to a slightly larger, more contemporary 36 mm size. Measuring 36mm in width and 11mm in height, with an 18mm lug width and a 41.5mm lug-to-lug span, it strikes a balance between classic proportions and modern wearability. The stainless steel case provides a durable base for this field-ready design.
The dial of the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch is where its vintage origins truly sing. Its colorful face is a direct nod to the Viscount’s aesthetic, featuring a luminescent dial and hands for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions – a key feature for any tool watch.
A prominent inner red 24-hour time index adds both visual interest and practical utility, while an outer yellow minute index provides precise timekeeping reference. Protecting this vibrant dial is a domed acrylic crystal, a material choice that contributes to its retro feel, adding a warm distortion that is characteristic of vintage timepieces.
The strap is another standout feature, perfectly blending rugged utility with comfortable wearability. It’s a dual-sided strap featuring abrasion-resistant, water-repellent CORDURA® on the exterior for durability against the elements, lined with a soft, comfortable leather on the underside for a pleasant feel against the wrist. Quick-release spring bars make swapping straps easy, allowing for versatile styling.
Powering the watch is a reliable quartz movement, known for its accuracy and low maintenance. The watch offers water resistance up to 50 meters, making it capable of shrugging off splashes and brief immersion – perfectly adequate for a field watch not intended for diving. Exclusive details for this collaboration include Bespoke Post branding subtly placed on both the caseback and the crown, marking it as a unique partnership piece.
Offering this blend of heritage inspiration, modern design, practical features, and collaborative exclusivity at a price point of $159, the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch presents a compelling value proposition. It’s a stylish, capable, and accessible timepiece that successfully brings an archive legend into the present day, perfect for daily wear and light adventure, and a great addition to any collection.
