Unlike the standard, this one has both 12- and 24-hour markers on the dial, so you can tell the time via whichever makes your life easier. It is also a bit toned-down on the lume — instead of fully-lumed indices, this one sticks with hour markers (and numerals) and the hands.

It also still has the quick-release fabric strap. However, if you’re into a more refined option, there’s also an all-stainless steel version with a metal link band, which is a bit more expensive than the baseline Expedition Capstone Automatic.

The biggest change between the standard Expedition Capstone and this one is its beating heart. Instead of a battery-powered quartz movement, this one sees it swapped for an automatic.

Unfortunately, Timex is a bit cagey as to the details of this movement. The brand doesn’t even list its power reserve. Still, it’s a much simpler set-it-and-forget-it option than the quartz movement of the standard version.
