Timex Expands Expedition Sierra Lineup With Two New Camo Field Watches
Timex has added two new models to its Expedition Sierra collection in the United States, giving field watch fans a fresh pair of rugged, military-inspired options. The new Timex Expedition Sierra TW2Y89500 and TW2Y89400 both bring classic outdoor watch styling, stainless steel construction, camo dials, and practical everyday features at an accessible price.
Both watches share the same core design. Each model comes with a 40 mm brushed stainless steel case, offering a balanced size that should work well for a wide range of wrists. The case measures 11 mm thick, with a 47 mm lug-to-lug distance, keeping the profile fairly wearable for daily use, outdoor adventures, and casual styling.
The standout detail is the camo dial. The Timex TW2Y89500 features a green camo dial paired with a matching green fabric strap, giving it a more traditional military look. The Timex TW2Y89400 takes a lighter approach with a tan camo dial and a khaki fabric strap, making it a good choice for those who prefer a warmer, desert-inspired colorway.
While the design has a rugged feel, Timex keeps the watches practical and easy to maintain. Both models use a quartz movement powered by an SR626SW battery, which is rated for up to three years of battery life. That makes these watches convenient for buyers who want reliable timekeeping without the maintenance requirements of a mechanical movement.
The dial layout is built for legibility. Timex includes analog hands and Arabic numerals coated with lume, along with a date window positioned at 3 o’clock. There is also an inner 5-to-60-minute track for added functionality. For low-light visibility, both watches include Timex’s well-known Indiglo backlight, giving users another way to read the time in the dark.
One compromise is the crystal. Instead of sapphire, these Expedition Sierra watches use a standard mineral crystal. While it does not offer the same level of scratch resistance as sapphire, it still provides basic durability suitable for everyday wear.
Water resistance is rated at 100 meters, or 10 bar. This makes the TW2Y89500 and TW2Y89400 suitable for daily exposure to water and light water sports activities, though they are not positioned as dedicated dive watches.
Both models also come with a double-layered, slip-through fabric strap, reinforcing the field watch character while offering a secure and casual fit. The strap choice matches the overall military-inspired design and helps keep the watches lightweight and comfortable.
The Timex Expedition Sierra TW2Y89500 and TW2Y89400 are priced at $149 each in the US. With stainless steel cases, camo dials, Indiglo illumination, 100-meter water resistance, and long quartz battery life, these new Timex field watches offer a compelling option for anyone looking for an affordable outdoor-ready watch with classic adventure styling.
