The watch’s styling is spot on, boasting a simple, minimalist stainless steel case that aligns with traditional field watches (Timex’s included). The dial is also relatively minimalist in its styling, opting for simple hour and minute markings alongside big, bold numerals.
Unlike some Expedition watches, this watch has a secondary 24-hour time scale, meaning you can read it in standard 12-hour time or military time, whichever is your preference. It also has a date window for a little additional functionality.

What sets this watch apart is its power source. Unlike its pricier siblings, this is not an automatic. It’s also not a straightforward quartz like its ultra-budget relatives.
Instead, it’s right in the middle. This watch has a reliable and affordable quartz movement that offers convenience comparable to that of automatics. This is because it’s solar-powered.
