For the adventurer who demands both style and functionality, the Timex Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass 43mm Watch (£225) is the ultimate companion. Crafted from rugged 316L stainless steel, this timepiece is built for the long haul, with every curve and detail designed for endurance. From the brushed and bead-blasted finish of its case to the tactile pushers that provide an intuitive experience, the Expedition watch blends classic ruggedness with modern sophistication.
The standout feature of the Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass is its proprietary Tide-Temp-Compass movement, which allows you to track local tide conditions, measure air or water temperature, and navigate with a built-in analogue compass. The bidirectional centre hand offers unparalleled versatility, ensuring that no matter where your journey takes you—from a bustling city street to a remote mountain summit—you’ll have all the information you need right at your wrist.
With a 43mm case diameter and 13mm height, this watch makes a statement without being bulky. It features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal for ultimate durability and visibility, and its luminescent hands and hour markers ensure that you can read the watch even in low-light conditions. The iconic INDIGLO® backlight with night mode extends visibility after sundown, providing added peace of mind for late-night adventures.
The watch is paired with an Ecco™ DriTan™ leather strap, an eco-conscious material that not only feels comfortable on the wrist but also demonstrates Timex’s commitment to sustainability. The 22mm brown leather strap is fitted with a classic buckle, providing a snug fit for everyday wear or adventurous outings. Whether you’re swimming, snorkelling, or surfing, the Expedition’s 100-meter water resistance rating has you covered. It’s suitable for a range of water activities—though it’s best to leave it on dry land for scuba diving. Just remember, to maintain water resistance, avoid pressing any buttons while underwater.
The Timex Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass is not just a watch; it’s a tool that embodies rugged sophistication. Its combination of durable stainless steel construction, precision quartz movement, and unique tide, temperature, and compass features makes it an essential piece of gear for the modern explorer. Perfect for those who love the thrill of adventure, this watch is a versatile addition to your wrist that offers both practicality and timeless style. Whether you’re navigating new terrain or just navigating your daily life, the Timex Expedition has got your back.
