"It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." Timex built its reputation on durability and affordability, and that promise holds true today. While luxury brands chase higher prices, Timex keeps making honest watches for everyday people.
The Weekender is the quintessential affordable watch. Simple, readable, and available with countless NATO straps to match any style. It's the watch you throw on without thinking, the one that goes everywhere. The Expedition line adds outdoor credibility with compasses, Indiglo backlighting, and rugged construction.
Timex's Indiglo backlighting, introduced in 1992, remains one of the best illumination systems in watchmaking. The entire dial glows evenly, making nighttime reading effortless. Many expensive watches can't match this simple, effective feature.
Recent collaborations have brought Timex renewed attention. Q Timex reissues vintage designs, the MK1 channels military heritage, and partnerships with brands like Todd Snyder elevate the styling. But at its core, Timex remains what it's always been: a reliable watch you can afford to actually wear.
