Timex Expedition Solar
So I really like the Hamilton Khaki Field watches however I couldn’t justify the cost so I built my own. One of my first watches as a kid was an 80s Timex Expedition and without knowing it I bought a new version of my old one. I bought a strap that I really like knowing it’s reminiscent of the Hamilton. I really love it.

I'm an IT pro and a professional concert photographer. I have always liked watches and I started collecting two months ago. I have ten watches now. Is that a problem? :-)

Looks great!
Timex used to be a supplier of field watches to the US military, just like Hamilton. So, it's really a redesign of one of their classic models, just like the modern Hamiltons are.
That looks very cool. Solar bonus! 😎🌞
And it has double the water resistance? What’s not to love!
Tbh I’m not the biggest Timex fan but this I like 👍
Thank you everyone! I really appreciate your kind words. I looked at your collections and they are amazing!
That's awfully close to a Khaki Field watch. Timex has real military history. Great choice.

Thank you
I’m just bidding on one myself! Congrats, it’s a great looking combo. How accurate is the solar quartz? I assume it’s not seconds in a month accurate..?

Hi there,
It’s a Seiko solar quartz so it’s very accurate. Like you said, seconds per month.
Wow! That is a good looking watch. Just waiting for someone to do a solar GMT field in this format👍👍👍
I find myself wearing this watch more than any other watch I currently own. 🍻🍻
