Military-style Timex

Published on

New watches signed by the American brand Timex. They are those of the North Sierra Eco-Friendly line, which are part of the Expedition collection. Two new timepieces are added to the line that focus on design and functionality. The round case of the two watches is made of low-lead brass in satin silver color, with a diameter of 40 mm. The dials use Indiglo lighting, a proprietary technology of Timex, introduced in 1992, whose name derives from the word Indigo: they emit a blue-green color each time the crown is pressed. The clock is illuminated thanks to the thin phosphor panel placed under the dial.
