Timex Adds Subtle Camo To Its Classic Expedition Sierra Hiking Watch

Two new options land in the collection but somehow don’t detract from the field watch’s versatile style.

About five years ago, Timex expanded its long-running Expedition lineup to fill a gap between the entry-level Scout and the newly introduced North Field Post on the premium side.

The model was called the Expedition Sierra, and not only was it a solid mid-tier field watch but it was the watchmaker’s affordable response to the legendary Hamilton Khaki Field (it’s about a third the price of even the quartz version of the Hamilton timepiece).

Now, Timex takes the Sierra’s military pretense to new heights with camo-dialed options that surprisingly don’t eschew the model’s versatility.

Playing the field

Landing in green and tan, the new Sierra colorways feature subtle monochromatic images of forest scenery in the backdrop. Fortunately, Timex doesn’t go with traditional camo here, still making these solid GADA watches if you’d like them to be.

The biggest military inspiration comes in the way the numerals are designed. They feature a split design like you’d find stenciled on military vehicles and supply crates. Meanwhile, the NATO straps color-match with a pre-worn effect to make them look like they’ve already been out in the field.

Aside from the dial print, the hour markers are also changed here, taking cues from stencil-style font printed on military vehicles and supply crates.

Instead of a 24-hour inner dial, Timex swaps in a minute track, counting by fives. And around the outer track, triangles point to the hours instead of sticks. There’s no Indiglo backlight here like on some other Sierra models, but the hands and hours are still lumed. The date window is also left untouched.

Still powered by quartz movements, the new variants don’t change much in the way of the structure of the stainless steel cases. The 40mm diameter and 11mm thickness returns. However, the water resistance gets bumped to 100m (from 50m), making these even more versatile than before.
