Sapphire Crystal
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.
Sapphire Crystal
Scratch-resistant
Sapphire is the hardest crystal available. Given its hardness it is near impossible to scratch, however, it can be prone to shattering if subjected to a heavy impact. Its scratch resistance is very desirable and as such there is a higher cost to sapphire versus other crystals.

This watch fills a nice
"This watch fills a nice little sweet spot for me. On one hand I work in an office and need an analogue watch that fits nicely under a dress shirt and suit jacket. On the other hand I bike commute 12+ miles a day and need a watch that can take bad weather, broken city streets, and fumbling around with bike tools. Most sports watches are overly large. This one has all the specs of a tough beater watch but in a dress clothing friendly size. In person the face of the watch is more of an off white, which isn't a bad thing. Gives it a bit more of a grown up look. The orange/red color on the hands adds a nice bit of flair without looking too flashy. It's just enough to be fun without going overboard. I prefer a quartz for a daily because no automatic watch is going to stay accurate for long enduring the constant vibration of holding on to bike handlebars day after day. This also happens to be my first titanium watch and I'm amazed at how light it is. This quality alone has pretty much spoiled me in a short amount of time. Shockingly the second hand lines up with all the markers, which is more or less unheard of at this price. The movement is also silent unless I'm putting the watch right up to my ear. If there are any down sides to this watch its the lume is just so/so. Not terrible. Not exciting. I'm not trying to read my watch in the dark all that much so this is a small issue for me. I do love indiglo and wish this watch had it, but I don't see how they could have gotten 200m water resistance without the screw down crown, which would make a button on the crown impossible. So as with everything, it is a trade off and I'll take the extra water resistance gladly."
Perfect outdoor watch. Super light
"Perfect outdoor watch. Super light and comfortable. Recommend for day hikes and similar. Not sufficient lume to rely on in serious outdoor activities in the dark. Also goes well with smart casual office look."
Perfect.

Es un reloj muy bonito.

Very basic but quality watch.

Q&A
- Just received this watch. Testing out the lume and it seems it is only working on the hour hand and the minute hand. The second hand as well as the 3,6,9, and 12 hour markers are not even though their design seems to indicate that they should also glow. Is this working as intended
- Hello Gavin! Congratulations on receiving your new Expedition Titanium 38mm Leather Strap Watch and thank you for sharing your feedback about the lume. The luminous feature on this model is designed to enhance visibility in low‑light conditions by illuminating only the hour and minute hands, while the second hand and hour markers are not included in the luminescent treatment.
- Does this version have an indiglo light?
- Hi Chau! Unfortunately, this specific model doesn't feature Indiglo. However, we have several stunning Timex watches that do! Would you like me to help you find one with easy nighttime readability? For more details and other features, check out the product page.
