Timex’s ties to the military go back decades, when the brand joined the likes of Hamilton in producing small, cheap, general-purpose field watches under the US specification MIL-W-46374B.

Today, most people simply refer to that timepiece as the Camper, which now leads a double life as a sleeper Hollywood watch:

MacGyver famously wore one, and so, too, did Josh Brolin’s character in No Country for Old Men.

But it’s far from the only Timex with military pedigree, at least as far as Briefing is concerned.

The cult Japanese brand known for incorporating military-grade materials into everyday bags teams up with Timex for a tactical take on the 36mm Expedition, powered by a solar quartz movement with a four-month power reserve.

Custom hour and minute hands reference aircraft cockpit instruments, while the bead-blasted stainless steel case kills glare for a subdued finish that underscores its utilitarian ethos.
