I’ve got one of these. Great review! I was looking to see what the 2 sub dials were used for. I have a few timex for the reasons that the look cool and have been very dependable. Reply Automatic watches have no battery. Instead, these "self winding" movements use the natural movement of your wrist as a power source. While it definitely gives the watch a story, people who like pristine watches may shy away. All the surfaces, aside from the Timex Expedition Chronograph’s bezel, are brushed and the brushing is what you would expect on a watch at this price point. It’s there. The edges aren’t particularly sharp and at closer inspection the brushing doesn’t look quite done. The lugs shoot straight out from the watch and curl at the end. I’ve still got a Timex watch I was given as a young boy that will still run if you put a battery in it. They’re known for ruggedly built timepieces that can stand up to our day to day lives, and for being affordable watches that the “Everyman” can buy. If Citizen is the watch of the people in Japan, Timex is the watch of the people in the United States. For the last few weeks I’ve been wearing a watch that is the epitome of Timex. It’s rugged, durable, functional, and steeped in American watch design. I’m, of course, talking about the Timex Expedition Chronograph T49905ZA. Water-resistance is the ability to resist the penetration of water to a certain degree. Waterproof means that water is not allowed to pass through it. At this time Timex only sells water-resistant watches.

A quartz digital watch is powered by a battery. Quartz movements are highly accurate, capable of keeping time to within milliseconds per day. The Timex Expedition Field Chronograph T49904 is a bracelet watch with a round case made of brass, giving it a sturdy and durable build. The watch dial is analog, featuring Arabic numerals as the marker style. With its quartz mechanism type, this watch guarantees accurate timekeeping. Watches labeled water-resistant without a depth indicated can withstand splashes and rain, but should not be submerged. The diver-inspired metal case on our Expedition North Ridge features a 41 or 42mm unidirectional rotating bezel with raised and low portions that create a rugged look.There are no tools required to remove the spring bars that attach the leather strap to the case. Refresh your look in seconds with endless strap options.

Around the dial is a beveled chapter ring for the Timex Expedition Chronograph’s tachymeter and second markings. All are finished in the same sand color as the dial markings. The only color on the Timex dial, besides the white hour and minute hands, are the orange tipped running second hand and the orange tipped chronograph second hand. The minute totalizer hand and the 1/20 of a second hand are white like the hour and minute hand. This makes for a very visible and cool looking watch. Nearly impossible to scratch, the sapphire crystal lens is as hard and clear as a gemstone. There are only a few materials known to the world that can scratch it. The T49904 comes with a stainless steel band, adding a touch of elegance to its overall design. The watch glass is made of mineral, ensuring scratch resistance and keeping the watch looking pristine for a longer period. Enjoy the convenience of having an efficient countdown timer right on your wrist. Perfect for workouts, cooking, and staying on schedule.

The Case:

The Timex Expedition collection has been around for quite some time and seems to be one of their most popular collections (aside from the Easy Reader or the Weekender) and, in my opinion, turns out some of their most appealing watches in terms of design. This Timex Expedition chronograph watch is no exception. The case measures 43mm across and 51mm lug-to-lug.

One of the notable features of the T49904 is its chronograph capability, allowing users to measure elapsed time with precision. The watch also boasts water resistance up to 100 meters, making it suitable for various water activities such as swimming or snorkeling. The day date complication allows you to see the day of the week as well as the date, providing added functionality and sophistication.

Stylishly Affordable

A chronograph watch provides the added functionality of a stopwatch. By using the two pushers, you can start, stop, and reset this function. The size of a watch depends on the diameter of the dial. Whatever your style is, the choice of a dial is a matter of personal taste. Natural leather is the traditional choice for watch straps. Our real leather is oiled, waxed, and coated to resist water and soften with wear.
