When it comes to seeking out the best everyday watches, durability, functionality, and style all need to be considered. It’s no easy task to create a timepiece that can fit in perfectly wherever your wrist takes it—from the office to the plane and the next weekend adventure. Yet, Timex has majorly hit the mark (again) with the launch of its Expedition North GMT Titanium Automatic.

The latest addition to the American brand’s Expedition North line continues to focus on what makes these watches great for the global traveler and all facets of exploration—from distant cities to mountain trails. Powered by flawless Japanese automatic movement, the watch features dual time zone tracking, thanks to its yellow fourth hand.

Designed for excursionists in the broadest sense, its titanium, shock-resistant 41mm case makes it a timepiece that can go just about anywhere, both ruggedly and stylishly. Add 200 meters of water resistance and luminous hands, and it’s easy to see why the latest titanium Timex is built for those who like to spend life on the go.

A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and bi-directional, rotating bezel give the watch added support and function—topped off by a flexible silicone strap with quick-release spring bars that makes it particularly versatile.

The Expedition North GMT Titanium Automatic joins a slew of exciting new releases from the brand catering to a variety of tastes, like with the Q Timex 1975 Enigma Reissue with its retro-inspired, 1970s design. 

Ultimately, the best part about the Timex Expedition North GMT Titanium Automatic may be its price—an almost shocking $549.
