help Timex Expedition Automatic Field Watch FAQ
Does the Timex Expedition Automatic field watch have the famous Indiglo backlight?
Surprisingly, the Timex Expedition Automatic does not feature the brand's signature Indiglo electro-luminescent backlighting. Instead, it relies on traditional luminous paint (lume) on the hands and hour markers to glow in the dark.
What type of movement is inside the Timex Expedition Automatic?
The watch is powered by a reliable automatic (self-winding) mechanical movement that is visible through an exhibition case back. It operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour (VPH) and offers a power reserve of approximately 40 hours when fully wound.
Can you manually wind the Timex Expedition Automatic field watch?
Yes, unlike cheaper automatic movements, the movement inside the Expedition Automatic allows for manual hand-winding via the crown. You can also hack the seconds hand by pulling the crown out, allowing you to sync the time precisely with another clock.
What is the case size and water resistance of the Timex Expedition Automatic?
The watch features a vintage-inspired 40mm stainless steel case that sits comfortably on most wrist sizes. It includes a domed acrylic crystal and is rated for 50 meters of water resistance, meaning it can handle splashes but should not be submerged for swimming.
